Just downloaded the SDK. This worries me a bit:

--cut from VST SDK licence-- 
... When you chose to receive the VST Plug-in SDK you declared yourself 
to be in agreement with the Licensing conditions.
[...]
You cannot:
* transfer your License to anyone
* license the information contained in this SDK to anyone else.
* sell the information contained in this SDK to anyone.
* re-work or otherwise pass this technology off as your own.
* give it away or in any other way distribute it, or cause it to be become
distributed.
--cut--

So if I add VST hosting to my apps, people will have to get the VST SDK
from Steinberg for to compile them. Have I understood this correctly?
