It's not a problem as long as your plugin remains in the ugly set and as long as you _don't_ sign the copyright assignment. Indeed signing it implies dual licensing, under GPL and a commercial license, which of course is not permitted by the GPL. So the best solution is to have your code licensed under a MIT or BSD like license, or GPL'd and allow the commercial license, but that means no foreign GPL'd code can be included. What is it exactly that you copied from those two files anyway? I can't see anything but constant codes, which I couldn't find in your plugin. > 2.

Sure you would be, the aim of this copyright assignment is not to steal your work and claim it for ourselves, it just exists for legal reasons. Cheers, Olivier
