Eric,

But is there a "fully open and free software" that can used instead of
LMMS ?

I think the licensing issues are wine related. The fonts in particular But
they are not depends so we may be able to just not install them and still
run LMMS. But, the amd64 version of LMMS does not have VST support (or
need wine) so we would be supporting two different versions, a full 32 bit and a less full 64bit. Anyone trying to help someone with LMMS who has the 32 bit version would frustrate the 64bit user. (the kxstudio versions have
the same problem BTW) I am beginning to understand why LMMS has not been
included in the distro...



I haven't heard anyone else but you talk about these issues, so I'm not hearing any evidence that this would be the case. VST support on Linux, with wine, is somewhat an extra addition, which requries it's own knowledgebase. It's not a requirement in any way. I don't see why this has to have any weight at all in deciding whether or not to add an open source Linux program to the default set of Ubuntu Studio applications.

As to the lack of info on Linux+VST in Ubuntu Studio docs, this could be ammended by writing some. Or, pointing with links to docs that deals with it.
