The codebase has files under several licenses: LGPLv2+, GPLv2+ and GPLv3+, the latter implicitly making the project be licensed under its terms, so our options are quite limited here. The situation wrt extensions is also not entirely clear, as the extension library is LGPLv2+ with Nautilus being GPLv2+, which in turn disallows loading non-free extensions. Given the fact that it is not meant to be a generic mechanism for loading extensions, I feel like relicensing it without much consideration is reasonable.I know at least one proprietary extension for Nautilus (integration with Synology NAS product) and I'm not sure we should prevent proprietary extensions to be used for Nautilus.
You can just mimic Totem exception clause. This is used to allow proprietary GStreamer plugins. https://git.gnome.org/browse/totem/tree/COPYING#n345 regards, Nicolas
