This is my understanding.  I *could* be mistaken but I'm fairly sure it's 
accurate.

The GPL says that anyone you distribute the software, including derivative 
works, to MUST receive the full rights that you have under the GPL.

BUT it does NOT say you HAVE to distribute derivative works at all.

As far as plugins go, they DO use other parts of the Slash system, so I 
believe they would be "infected" (for lack of a better term), just as C code 
linked with a GPL (not LGPL) library would be infected.

Does that make sense?
