Hmm....
From what I understand of GPL you can't put additional restrictions
to it. It's either GPL ot not.
The only thing you can do as a copyright holder is to dual-licence it,
like MySQL for instance, where you have one free GPL version with its
licensing rules or the same code bought as a commercial license
that you can use free of GPL restrictions.
AFAIKT from what Lars reports, LinuxSampler is violating GPL.
