1.) We don't sell any software. Never. All the software we create is GPLed. 2.) The hardware we sell as DIY kits is very generic. It's not designed to work with LinuxSampler in anyway. It can run Linuxsampler in the same way a Laptop or a Desktop computer can run LinuxSampler. It's a generic sound-dedicated small-computer. I suposse that Dell, Compaq or any Clonic Builder/Reseller don't violate the LinuxSampler license, althought they can claim that their "devices" can run LinuxSampler. Zynthian case is the same, with a different User Interface, based in RotaryEncoders+Switches instead of Mouse+Keyboard. > asks for money, so that specific person (and accordingly the company or > organization (s)he legally acts on behalf) would violate the license. > > There is nothing wrong to offer free open source software in conjunction with > LinuxSampler on websites to the public, free of charge for everybody.
