If you import a GPL library into your plugin your plug-in / add on is now GPL. They don’t want that.

GPL has what is called anti-tivoisation / DRM. This license was designed to specifically target the entertainment industry.

Even Ubuntu had to get a different license for boot loader to avoid risks here
