Not exactly, distributions are automatically allowed to ship it as long as 
they don't make money with it. Only if the latter case applies, they would 
currently need to contact us to get the permission to do so, which many 
distributions already did.

And about commercial music: that's a completely different thing. The 
commercial exception only applies to LS as being part of a commercial 
hardware or software product. If you're making commercial music with it 
however, LS won't be a part of your work (=music), I doubt you would ship LS 
on your album, would you?
