I do not know too much about joomla, but last time I tried to grapple
with it, I found that while joomla itself was licensed GPLv2, many
plugins were not.
How is that possible?

That's good. The second question: does the free Javascript code carry
manifest free licenses?

with it, I found that while joomla itself was licensed GPLv2, many
plugins were not.
How is that possible?
How are those plugins licensed? Under other free licenses compatible
with GPLv2? Are they nonfree?
If they are nonfree, the legalities of that depend on how plug-ins
communicate with Joomla. If it is arms-length (comparable to fork and
exec with command line args), then they are clearly separate programs,
and the license of one is independent of the license of the other.
If the communication is intimate, then the Joomla developers could
argue that the plug-ins are extensions of Joomla and the GPL applies
to them. But maybe they prefer to tolerate nonfree plug-ins.

While I do not know enough about Joomla and the plugins, and I really
look forward to hearing from those who do, it really seemed to me the
case that Joomla developers did not mind the GPL violation. It was as
if they earned legitimacy among the free-software enthusiasts by
licensing Joomla under GPL but allowed commercial and non-free
plugins. Availability of a large number of plugins is then presented
as an important strength of Joomla.
Of course I am expressing only a suspicion. But I would like to know
if others feel the same way.
