Yep, they're basically trying to mutate the GPL into the old Csound

Personally I don't get what all the fuss is about.

According to their words: "COMMERCIAL USE of
the souce code, libraries
and applications is NOT ALLOWED without prior written permission by
the LinuxSampler authors" no professional musician is allowed to use
LinuxSampler except with a written permission.
Frank, where did you get this text ? It's not the text I quoted from the
LS README :
"The LinuxSampler library (liblinuxsampler) and its applications are
distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (see
COPYING file), but with the EXCEPTION that they may NOT be used in
COMMERCIAL software or hardware products without prior written
authorization by the authors."
This is from recent CVS sources.
