Hi TwAfficionados Mohit returned a positive answer yesterday:
>Mohit: "Thanks for the e-mail. I'm okay with someone else building a TiddlyWiki plugin, but I'm not sure that the licenses are compatible. VexTab is free so long as it is not used for commercial purposes and the vexflow.com logo remains visible. If you can annotate your plugins with some text mentioning that this is for non-commercial use only, then I have no problem with it." I'm not sure if it's enough to apply with TW's BSD license - if the plugin is distributed "standalone" from Github? If Github is used as an official repository for the plugin - and it's not presented as part of an "official TW5 package" - eg. installed at tiddlywiki.com??
