I would think that a plugin may well have a different license than 
geany, as it is not a derivative work of geany. How about starting an 
endless discussion about derivative works as the linux kernel modules 
discussion ;-) There, the last word from Linus seems to be: A module is 
_not_ a derivative work, so the author can choose the license freely.

But of course Enrico would be the one to ask, no me.
