Otherwise these "plugins" would not be "plugins" ;)
The difference is an implementation detail, and so depending on it for
legal purposes is a stretch. However, as far as *we're* concerned, I
don't think there's a problem - everything we ship would be fine with
GPLv3, and any additional combinations occur at the user's end. Upstream
may care due to distributions with different policies, but I don't know
that that's a discussion we need to have here.
