But anyway, VST on Linux is dead now, beause
most of the user are not
able to compile it for themself.
Wrong. You just need to write a wrapper that
handles the compiling.

The end user would only be violating the GPL if they distributed
the kernel with the Nvidia kernel. The GPL bestows more freedom
to the user than it does to the distributor of GPL software.

You can always write a non-GPL VST host and connect it to a GPLed app using
a socket, fifo .. whatever else, without breaking any license.
That GPLed app can be a jack client, of course.
