Another small nit I have is with the "or any later version" clause in the Geany license - somehow the idea of agreeing to enter into a contract that hasn't been written yet doesn't seem to me like a very wise thing to do. What if GPL-v4 says: "the author agrees to pay all users of this software $1000 USD per bug report" , well, I don't think I want to give users the option of choosing THAT version :-)
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.
