Huh? I think, you're confusing something here. Is it too early in
the morning?
Arnold's explanation is approximately true of the LGPL rather than the
GPL, so perhaps that's the confusion here. The LADSPA header is
indeed under the LGPL, but the plugins in question are generally under
the GPL -- so terms and conditions of our normal flamefests apply.
I'm a but rusty on these issues, but my reading of the GPLv2 (many
years ago now) was that LADSPA plugins in it do not "infect" the host
with their licence.
There used to be a clear distinction between runtime linking, and
loadtime linking.
