Maybe I'm being stubborn, but either way, I don't see a problem. My understanding is anyone can freely click through the license and download the SDK to compile from source, and that binaries can be freely distributed. Like I said, it's not 100%-no-strings-attached free, but it's also not a bad alternative considering how extremely well-supported the standard is. I also want to point out that even though Steinberg could've taken the 2.4 SDK offline to force people to adopt 3.0 that they didn't. So I think they do listen to the needs of users and developers at least to some extent, which makes the adoption of something like this less worrisome in my mind. But, this is derailing the topic... -Louis On Thu, Feb 7, 2013 at 12:24 AM, Devin Anderson <surfacepatterns@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 10:57 PM, Alexandre Prokoudine > <alexandre.prokoudine@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> You don't need the VST SDK since 2009 or so.
