Hi all,
Problem with linuxsampler license void its all about that infamous exception clause on the README file, "that it may NOT be used in COMMERCIAL software or hardware products without prior written authorization by the authors."
I find this thread very interesting, and I'd like to add a real life situation to it since we also seem to have linuxsampler devs following this. I play in band called Kinoko en Orbite. I'll spare you with the translation/explaination, it's not the point. My home studio is built with free/opensource/GPLed/whatever-you-call-it software and I intend to use my studio to make a record for my band. I also plan to actually use a lot of these same softwares on stage. In other words, I intend to make a commercial usage of linuxsampler since we'll get money in exchange of these CDs (through it will alo be available on jamendo.org), and we intend to make people pay for these concerts. Can I use linuxsampler for this purpose since according to the license I need to ask ? Could the situation be clarified at least for musicians like me who do not intend to build hardware, but who want to earn a living playing music with your software ? My live sessions in Paris are starting soon, and I plan to spend my summer recording with my band. This is something I need to know. _________________ Marc-Olivier Barre, Kinoko en Orbite.
