Arnold's explanation is approximately true of the LGPL rather than the
GPL, so perhaps that's the confusion here.  The LADSPA header is
indeed under the LGPL, but the plugins in question are generally under
the GPL -- so terms and conditions of our normal flamefests apply.

(Probably best not to get sidetracked by the LGPL if we can help it,
considering how much time has been spent arguing about the much
simpler GPL lately...)
