Hm... I have a git repo that includes a) some 3-clause BSD licensed code and b) a GPLv3 licensed plug-in.

The GPLv3 licensed plug-in certainly counts as being "part of" this repository.

Could you please explain how the GPLv3 code "virally propogates" across the full repository? How is a patch submitted to the 3-clause BSD licensed code tainted by the GPLv3 plug-in?
