Hi James,
I hope (and am quite prepared to believe) you're right. Just that it
doesn't specifically say that - it just says "commercial use [...] is
not allowed", which is a little vague. That's why I'm suggesting a
clarification for those unwilling to make assumptions might be
a good idea :-)
Cheers,

From my
understanding, it is the commercial exploitation of the software,
rather than the
sale of music written with the software that they are
trying to limit: so if you were to build a linux based synth, and sell it
with LS installed, they would like to get some money from you for it,
which they would not be able to do under the GPL.
