Just to clarify this point:
With TS extensions you mean stuff like CSS-styled-content?
So if you import CSS-styled-content static template and then do

styles.content.get

this would be a no go, because CSS-styled-content as a whole is GPLed,
while something like

10 = CONTENT
10 {
    table = tt_content
    renderObj = CASE
    renderObj {
        blah
    }
}

would be OK, because this is just pure importable TS that is not depending
on any GPLed extension. Which means, if the TS that is delivered in this
case will just prepare a framework that will run with content(default),
CSS-styled-content or any other proprietary TS setup or just a placeholer
for different setups to create the content, this should be no problem too.

Agreed?
