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. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
