 I would much rather WPORG simply state that, as a matter of Policy, hosted
 Plugins must be GPLv2 compatible; end of story.


 As stated in the original ticket:

 It says this on: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/

 There are only a few restrictions
 1. Your plugin must be GPLv2 Compatible.

 That is the current policy. I don't know of any plans to change that.
