 From a recent discussion on IRC I believe it was concluded that whatever  
licensing issues there are is because of wine, which 32bit LMMS brings in,  
so LMMS itself has no licensing issues. I also believe it was concluded  
that LMMS can be installed without wine, leaving it up to the user whether  
or not to install it separately.
