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 :-)
Of course this would be up to Enrico, but if you wanted to distribute the Lua plugin code with Geany, it is possible to license it differently from Geany. This is already the case with the Scintilla library, which has it's own license (we added a note about this in the README and manual).
