In the case of the 3DSMAX plugin, it may (not sure) very well be the case that the binary contains some program and data that were extracted from the 3DSMAX distribution during the compilation/linking process and therefore subject to the same licensing terms.
Oh, I see. Thanks a lot for the explanation.
I thought that "plugin" meant "dynamically loadable piece of object code that is independent of the application" (like it does on Mac OS X... I guess I've done too much development[*] on that platform recently...)
In theory it should be independant, yes. In practice it is unclear and that's part of the problem.
Cheers,
