Hello Christian and other LinuxSampler developpers!

My name is José Fernando Moyano, from Barcelona, Spain.

I'm the main developer and founder of Zynthian Project:

http://zynthian.org

Zynthian is a completely open platform for Sound Synthesis:

+ Open Hardware Specification, based in Raspberry Pi

+ Open Source Software

Currently, it's a DIY project, and we don't sell any device, only some
specific PCBs and spare parts, to ease the building process. Anyway,
schemes and PCB files are freely available in our repositories:

https://github.com/zynthian

In the last months, we've integrated Linuxsampler in our project, and we
are really happy with the results. It runs perfectly well in the
Rapsberry Pi platform, with a decent SD card. Congratulations and thanks
for this wonderful piece of software!

So, we've included linuxsampler's binary (installed as a Debian package
from Autostatic repository) in our latest SD images. This images are
debian (raspbian) based images with some specific config adjustments and
some specific software installed on it, including some standalone
synthesizers, LV2 plugins, LV2 hosts and the zynthian UI. Of course,
every piece of software is Open Source. Also, we have a "setup script"
in our repository, that can be executed on a raw raspbian installation
to setup a zynthian box.

As we really think that the "commercial" limitation of LinuxSampler
license does not apply to Zynthian Project, we haven't contacted you
before, but recently we have received some questions related to this
subject and we would like to avoid any misunderstanding, so we have
decided to contact and ask your opinion.

+ Do you think there is some problem with including linuxsampler's
binary in our freely available SD images?

+ Do you think that we are breaking your license if we sell DIY kits, or
organize workshops?

Thank you very much,

Best Regards!
