Yes I hope in ten years LV2 for Linux is something
like VST was in 2000.
But with opensource ideals we can't make a single note on a computer -
creating music did not need ideologys. The freedom is to have the choice to
use closed VST plugins on Linux.
When i was started on linux, i thought "this is an open platform with creative
developers" now i start to realise that some devs using linux as a weapon
against the windmills named closed source.
If audiolinux shall reach the musicans, VST must be integrated. Otherwise
audiolinux will always be a niche for some geeks like me.
Request Steinberg to make Linux version on Cubase, Nuendo, etc. They
don't care I suppose. Why should "some devs" care about stimulating
propriatary software then? To slow libre software development? You call
it weapon against the windmills, I call it freedom of choice. But that
freedom is restricted by proprietary software.
