This is not a technical detail, but a valid field describing the proper
license for the whole product.

For the Bacula Community you can't legally load the plugin which is not
AGPLv3 licensed. You can provide external tools as "full copyright", i.e. I
prepared the proprietary (open-source version is available too) tool -
IBAdmin which manages Bacula Community without any plugin, just with simple
cli execs and sql queries.

If you distribute this software, or provide services based on a modified
version of it over a network, you have an obligation to provide the
corresponding source code to the users, unless you have a separate license
that permits otherwise.

I hope this is clear.
