Exactly. We don't have any sadomasochistic tendencies, so we're not keeping
this restriction and all the flamewars for fun. I would appreciate if your
claim would be true Marek, but it seems the FSF does not share your
interpretation of the GPL. And if the author of the license doesn't ... you
know ... who would?
And IMO this is the wrong place to discuss this issue anyway. I'm sure the FSF
can give you better answers than anybody here.

So to
summarize that with respect to LinuxSampler, the exception
"LinuxSampler is licensed under the GNU GPL with the exception that
USAGE of the source code, libraries and applications FOR COMMERCIAL
HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS IS NOT ALLOWED" is in fact no exception
at all, and is already covered by GPL.
We have been told that the LS team talked to the FSF people. If things
would be so easy, I'm sure it would have been resolved already.
