Writing a plug-in for the GIMP does not do anything prohibited by
copyright. Even if you include header files and such, that comes
under "there's just one way to do it", which makes it OK. So you
don't need permission and you don't need to distribute it under any
particular license.
If the program depends on the other program in some manner, then yes
you do.
Some GPL theorists would like it if making a program
that inter-operates at the code level with another
program would entangle its source in the copyrights
of that program, but in fact that does not happen.
Ofcourse it does happen.
