Got to step in here for a moment. Users ARE allowed to sell their music, and
in fact are encouraged to do so, in clear print on the website.

"Can I use LinuxSampler for commercial music production?
Hell, yes! Every indirect commercial usage of LinuxSampler, which
essentially means using its audio output, can of course be used in
commercial applications like music productions, live shows, etc. Don't get
us wrong, with the mentioned commercial exception we don't want to restrict
the normal user / musician, we just want to avoid somebody to directly make
money with our work, that is by selling our software in a sampler product
like a sampler + sample library bundle, a hardware sampler or something
equivalent, at least not without giving something back to the open source
Community."

Seems as plain as day to me.

Wrong.
"This software is licensed under the terms of the Foobar License version
1.2.8 except that sections 9 through 10 of that license do not apply".
Note the phrase "This software is licensed". These are followed by a
description of the license terms. Let me provide a more extreme example: I agree that the license is not well worded (it
causes problems for
Linux distributions, for example, in ways that I think are totally
unintended). That doesn't make it an invalid license.
So the license is valid but the wording is unclear because distributions
don't
know wether they are allowed to ship it and users don't know wether they
are
allowed to sell the music they do with LS?
