Comment (by scribu):

 @KatePhiz: You forgot the second part of that paragraph:

 > If the plugin does require that data is loaded from an external site
 (such as blocklists) this should be made clear in the plugin's admin
 screens or description. The point is that the user must be informed of
 what information is being sent where.

 So it's ok if you load images from an external source, as long as you let
 users know.
