This is what they say on the FAQ: I hate to be a jerk and crap on someone's project, but this is a clear violation of the GPL. Here's some GPL FAQs that explain this: https://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney https://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCDoesTheGPLAllowNDA https://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCOrigBSD Software freedom zero requires that a program be usable for any purpose whatsoever with no restrictions or limitations. Of course if I produce a hardware device that uses a modified LinuxSampler, my modifications are required to be free software. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxx "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell." --St. Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37
