I do not know the X11 license, but changing the license of the plugin template recalls me of one thing:
If the GIMP is under the GPL, with no exceptions listed were appropriate, them it is ilegal for non GPL-compatible plugins to be installed.
This is quite clear on the GPL-FAQ. And for great that it may seen for some people to have some proprietary plugins developed for the GIMP, that otherwise would not, we get better respecting the GPL or __else__.
To allow for non gpl-compatible plugins to run with the GIMP, the license of the GIMP itself must include an exception note, stating that.

Hi,
going hand in hand with the 1.3.17 release, there's now an updated
version of the gimp-plugin-template available from
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plugin-template/
The template has been relicensed to a less restrictive X11-style license (thanks to Adam for his patch) and was updated to follow the GIMP-1.3 API changes. It requires at least GIMP-1.3.17. If you want to write a larger plug-in for GIMP 2.0, this package should give you a good start.
