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.
