It might help to better define what you mean by "plug-in". Precisely how are the
GPL'd code and the non-GPL'ed code tied together? How is code in the GPL'ed code
invoked from the non-GPL'ed code?
Probably this isn't the best place to ask though. For a really thorny issue, I'd
try to ask in a GNU group, or ask RMS directly.
