Ah. No point talking about it here then.
this is LA*D*, where we are free to ramble about every stillborn idea
that shows up in our wacky little minds, isn't it? :)
No, the licence situation is clear enough I think. It
just isn't very
satisfactory. You can't legally link anything that uses the Steinberg
headers into a GPL application and distribute the results as a binary,
with or without source. dssi-vst is a plugin with very particular
well, actually, thats not quite true. *I* can do that for Ardour, and
I suspect that the Rosegarden group could do that for RG as
well. Ditto Werner with MusE; since we are the copyright owners, we
can do whatever we damn well please :) However, 3rd parties cannot, and
in this day and age of O(N^2) Linux distributions, that is a bit of an
issue.
