Llorean:
The problem we've got here, is that what you're quoting is about someone releasing code under the GPL when it's linked to something GPL incompatible. The other thing you're missing is that this is referring to linking programs.

WPSes are interpreted documents (like webpages) and are not program code. As I said, how does your instance take into account webpages (interpreted HTML text documents, much more closely related to WPSes than foobar plugins).

Febs:
There is a FAQ that specifically addresses LLorean's point:


--- Quote ---If a programming language interpreter is released under the GPL, does that mean programs written to be interpreted by it must be under GPL-compatible licenses?
    When the interpreter just interprets a language, the answer is no. The interpreted program, to the interpreter, is just data; a free software license like the GPL, based on copyright law, cannot limit what data you use the interpreter on. You can run it on any data (interpreted program), any way you like, and there are no requirements about licensing that data to anyone.
