2) The inclusion of the additional restriction means
that LinuxSampler
cannot be distributed under a licence that is called the GPL. The GPL
FAQ[2] is quite clear on this. Additionally the FAQ states that
software distributed under the GPL + restrictions cannot be linked to
libraries under the GPL because the new licence (GPL + restrictions) is
almost certainly incompatible with the GPL.
Which means the linuxsampler guys can't link to their own libgig! Someone
should tell them about their problems.
And which means that its not a question of "is LS under a truly-free(TM)
license or not" but more "Does LS have a valid license at all?" Apart from
the copyright the authors have.
I still hope for someone who contributed to LS who wasn't asked about the
license-change...
And no, using GigaSampler is not an options for me (altough I own a copy of
that app, came with my Tascam) because that would mean a) booting the other
system, b) getting latencies >500ms and c) getting the sound delivered on the
builtin-speakers of the laptop. And I don't feel like fiddling around in that
OS to try to fix b and c.
Can't someone write/adopt a sampler to use gig-files through libgig? Shouldn't
be to hard for someone already knowing how to write samplers?
Have fun,
Arnold
