malfunction54hi! I just booted up the beta of 22.10 to see if QTractor is compiled with VST3 support.  I see that it is not.  I'm sure there's a good reason.  Does anyone happen to know why?02:19
Eickmeyer[m]malfunction54: VST3 is not compatible with free software guidelines as Steinberg (the company that created the plugin type) has released it under a proprietary license "or" under GPL, which is incompatible with the GPL. Hence, it's not in the Ubuntu or Debian repositories as such.02:23
malfunction54ok, that is what I expected.  Thanks for your reply!02:24
Eickmeyer[m]In other words, the GPL doesn't allow for such a dual-license as Steinberg has assumed.02:24
Eickmeyer[m]Yw.02:24
malfunction54that totally makes sense to me :)02:24
arraybolt3[m]That seriously annoys me. :P02:25
=== arraybolt3_ is now known as arraybolt3
=== guiverc2 is now known as guiverc
