OK, thank you Paul for saving our project... we cancel now vst support
in any way. The binary will be deleted. Also LMMS will be informed
because of the violation of the licences.

Your bug reports and fixes have been invaluable.
It dosn't work with fst 1.7 because of a
graphical prob.
I notice
jacklab.net offers a binary distribution of libfst, and says "an
experimental version of ardour-fst is in preparation". How do you deal with
the licensing problem?
an excellent question. i want to repeat and stress what is said within
Ardour, but probably not clearly enough:
It is illegal to distribute binaries of a GPL'ed application
compiled with VST support.
Illegal, OK? Don't do it. We didn't ask for this situation, but its the
situation we have and nobody is going to be helped by people breaking
licensing agreements. I would remind distributors that if you break the
license in any way, you lose all ability to distribute a GPL'ed
application at all. So please, don't do it.
