What I want to say is the migration of Linux Sampler from GPL to any

It's a good point that you raise and I know Mark is well aware of this
given his work history ;)
I think the people who wrote the GPL had a pretty fair idea of the
multinational corporate environment when they wrote the License.
I find it strange that Mark is willing to use the other completely
proprietry apps but not LS simply because they have a small clause in
their license which demands commercial companies get their permission
before embedding the code.
It has nothing to do with the end user :?
But it also seems strange that they haven't been taken to task for
altering the GPL. That is definitely illegal AFAIK. Doesn't the BSD
license cover their needs?
Cheers.
