You know I have created multiple plugins that are given away for free in full knowledge of senior executives (in fact they have encouraged me) and there has been no requirement to have the API. Indeed Blackbaud have plugins for download and they do not require their own clients to have the API. If it were a requirement then you could (and they probably would) program in such a restriction so whether it was at one time official policy it certainly isn't now
