 == Are there licensing restrictions on plugins? ==
 Yes.  Libpurple is released under a GPL license.  Any derivative works must be released under a compatible license.  The way that plugins work in Libpurple causes them to fall in the "derivative" category and consequently '''MUST''' be released under a GPL compatible license.
-To be clear, this requirement means that plugins '''MAY NOT''' be distributed that use libraries with incompatible licenses (even if they use dynamic linking).[[BR]]

 The FSF maintains [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html a FAQ] about the GPL that contains answers to many common questions.[[BR]]
