In the series Gundam X, there's a certain mech, the GX-9900, which has a satellite link to a solar power station on the moon which refracts microwave down to the mech to make big kerplowie boom boom destruction.
I think a better analogy in this case would be running GPL'd software from within Windows. Vidomi 's trying to include the GPL'd code as some sort of plug-in; they've already stated that it runs standalone without the GPL'd code. So, just like how I can run VirtuaDub (a GPL'd "plug-in" to the Windows OS) in Windows, I should be able to have a closed-source Vidomi and have a GPL'd plug-in.
At least, that's how I'm thinking of it, and I'm no GPL expert, but that sounds reasonable to me.
