      <pre>Hi Christian,

I think there is a little misunderstanding in Fernandos Email from
yesterday:

1.) Zynthian is not a company, nor an organization. It's an open community.

2.) Zynthian is not a "product", it is an open specificacion for
building a device.

3.) Any economic activity related to Zynthian, like selling kits,
organizing workshops, etc. is realized by individuals. Everybody can
print the PCBs and sell kits, or organize workshops, because the
specification is completely free.

Anyway, we don't want to act against the will of linuxsampler team, so,
if you wish, we will remove the linuxsampler's binary from the official
SD images. That is very clear. We don't want to offend anybody.

It's a great pity for us, really! But also for you ... think about it!
We play in the same team!!

We are trying to bring free software tools to the wide community of
musicians around the world. By offering these tools through an open
platform like Zynthian, we create a bridge from Windows/Apple world
towards Linux and free software arena. We believe it's something that
should be done...

Regards, Holger

&gt; You are selling the devices for money, so yes, you do sell a commercial
&gt; product and hence you are not allowed to use LinuxSampler without our
&gt; prior permission! Just the fact that you are using open source
&gt; components does not mean you are not violating the license. You do! The
&gt; download page is pretty short and clear on that, quote:
&gt; 
&gt; 	"... USAGE of the source code, libraries and applications FOR
&gt; COMMERCIAL HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS IS NOT ALLOWED without prior
&gt; written permission by the LinuxSampler authors."
&gt; 
&gt; You may acquire a commercial license for the sampler for your products,
&gt; but in the meantime, since you haven't acquired a commercial license of
&gt; the sampler yet, please stop using LinuxSampler with your products
&gt; immediately!
&gt;
