Seems to depend of the interpretation what "usage" does mean. I will 
indicate to the issue about LADSPA used by Non-GPL software. Use of GPL 
code included to another program makes this other program automatically 
GPL'd. I guess this is one of the subjects that is easy to understand 
for people that aren't lawyers and even with broken English.

I'm off-line now.
