First, I'm not saying ASIO should or should not be supported as I'm sure this
has been discussed before (I'm too lazy to search the archives ;-)).  And I'm
the last one to claim the ability to read legalese, but it doesn't seem to be a
problem to me.  Section 2.2 is (I think) talking about distributing part or all
of the SDK itself.  We wouldn't be doing that.  We'd be doing section 2.1,
especially 2.1.2.

However, I wonder how sections 2.4 and 2.5 would apply to a community project
rather than an individual or company.

Maybe asking Steinberg their views on open source projects???

Just thinking out load...
