Sicher! I was talking about Silvester in Berlin! Already sounds like a
warzone in Weissensee here (guilty as charged - had to let off a few
knalle's) Now that the sun has gone down let's get this riot started ;)

Don't worry Brendan, I won't start the fire here ;). You understand what
I pointed out. It does matter if people add an official limitation to
the GPL, but it doesn't matter if a coder doesn't add a limitation, but
when people start to fork the unlimited GPLed software it became a fire
on this and at least LAU too.
I'm happy that my main distro does include linuxsampler to the official
repositories and I'm able to build it for other distros myself.
And, my main distro isn't Gentoo, there at least is a second distro with
a similar policy as Gentoo and inexperienced user can get both Aelus and
linuxsampler :p and it's good this way :).
Regards,
Ralf

Yeah I know. Fedora is pretty strict with such, debian also. You can
grab it from the CCRMA repos though.
Ralf, have you bought your fireworks yet? On 12/31/2013 04:56 PM, Ralf Mardorf wrote:

Same reason why we don't include it in Fedora Jam. It's a non-free
license.
It's free, even for professional audio productions, just not free to use
for commercial software.
OTOH software that is not "intended" to be forked usually isn't
excluded.
IMO a double standard, anyway, thank you for your answer.
