Hah, yeah, an employee saying that without executive authority would be a big no.
But according to this [0], I read it as quite clearly not allowed to GPL a plugin for distribution within a non free program, even if the plugin was unmodified.

We believed it would likely be one work, the plugin’s author believed it would not be. All of this was just months of wasted energy, spending arguing about licence terms instead of coding.
