It's not native:
Linux Requirements:
- JACK : 0.100.0 or above (http://jackit.sourceforge.net)
- Wine : preferably 1.0 or above, but many older versions will work too.
(http://www.winehq.org/)
- FST : 1.7 or above (http://joebutton.co.uk/fst/)
There will never be native Linux VST plugins, VST has a non-free
license.

Another way of putting it:
There will never be native Linux VST plugins *as long as* VST has a
non-free license.
A little hope never hurts. Ico is now trying to lobby Yamaha/Steinberg
into a license change to make it more favorable to FOSS development.

Hi Rob,
They might want users of other operating systems to be able to use their
plugin in any software they like, including a GPL Windows audio
application.
Actually, I have a question about that. If person A made a VST that
was GPL, and person B loaded it into a proprietary audio app, wouldn't
it technically have to be GPL in order to dynamically link in the GPL
plugin? This seems to me to be a bit like binary blobs in the kernel.
Best regards,
Chris.

The GPL is very clear on that it doesn't restrict you from _running_
the program in any way you want.
That is, person A gave person B the plug-in under a license that
allows person B to run it however he wants, and he does - end of
story.
(Trouble might begin if person be ships along the plug-in as part of a
software package which is not it self GPL or at least Free Software,
but that's a different and much more complicated issue.)
