This is interesting take about GPL and QGIS plugins.

It means that the QGIS plugins is LGPL in this case.

If It is GPL, we the public can demand that QGIS plugin should be
available publicly both the source and binary.

Is the QGIS plugins, LGPL?

What do other thinks about Marco's interpretation about GPL and the
QGIS plugins, not available for everyone - i.e. " there is no
requirement for you or the  contractor to publish the plugin to the
public".
