1. they won't
2. if they do, kontakt still won't be open source
3. if linuxsampler would support the kontakt format, the format would
change (this already happend in kontakt 4.1)

conclusion:
1. don't use the kontakt sampler (or other proprietary sw)
2. don't buy kontakt samples
3. support free, libre sample libraries
4. create free, libre sample libraries

this appears as the most effective stategie and long time solution
