[02:19] <malfunction54> hi! 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?
[02:23] <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.
[02:24] <malfunction54> ok, 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] <malfunction54> that totally makes sense to me :)
[02:25] <arraybolt3[m]> That seriously annoys me. :P
