OSS – GPL v3 plugins in non-copyleft codebase.
I’ve been working on software to modify a game’s resource files, and I’m planning on releasing it in open source. I’m perfectly fine with releasing my code under gpl v3. However, I’m afraid that that would deter others from writing extensions for my software, as I have had others offer to do so – the community which I’m working with is very much afraid of open source leeches, and as a result, the majority of popular released projects are closed source.

ISC license advice
Is the ISC license suitable as a MIT or Simplified BSD license replacement?
Give open-source developers a free license for my commercial software?
I am creating a software package that will be useful to programmers, engineers and scientists. List price will be in the region of $1,000 — way beyond the budget of most open-source developers, hobbyists and enthusiasts. So I am considering two things, the first generous, the second maybe a little greedy:
