Dssi-Vst and Ubuntu Studio

[Sergio Bello]

I think the problem with vst integration in US (and all other
Linux-based distributions) is reconducible to license issues. You cannot
use Steimberg vst api without signing a specific agreement, which is
unsuitable for US licensing model.

They state:
"Please note that there are licensing agreements coupled with the use of
development tools which you have to agree. These agreements contain
conditions and/or requirements which are mostly concerned with liability
issues."
