Let me try to clarify one thing:

I should have said 'If they are scripts that communicate via main()' -
ie, at the commandline.

If you have a python interpreter in your app and are loading python
scripts for GIMP, the two applications would have to share certain
data structures and calling conventions so there would be a
derivation.

I suppose both cases of calling plugins via a 'main' are borderline
whether the code is compiled or not.

But calling a GPL application from a closed application is allowable.
