Sorry Paul for the double posting, I just hit Answer and it din't make

Is it not the point of the GPL3 to be a free license that allow to make
anything with the work done with the software, but to restrict
commercial distribution of the code or the software?

In gentoo, we have another politic with the licences. The free
licence are accepted by portage by default, and for the other
licences, the user must accept them on a per package basis. For
linuxsampler, both the portage versions and the pro-audio overlay
live version are considered as GPL2, as stated into the source code.
It isn't clear that linuxsampler's license is legal. They use the
GPL2 and then add restrictions, which is prohibited by the GPL. It
may or may not affect the license, but either way it is a wierd
situation.
