Sadly no, those terms as self contradictory and hence invalid. One can only assume or guess your intentions. You're on the safe side: Any just court would uphold your (C) claim and clearly stated intention for no commercial use, but it leaves users out. One can assume that you won't be suing users for non-commercial use but there's no guarantee. It's a status-quo. >> So if one were to take the individual source files and re-roll them >> into a new archive... ?! > > Wrong.

Where does this leave files that do have a GPL header? say for example http://svn.linuxsampler.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/linuxsampler/trunk/src/common/Thread.cpp Can I use that in an independent project with vanilla GPLv2? COPYING in the source-dir is GPLv2, the README contradicts that. I would like to encourage you to properly license LinuxSampler if only to prevent future threads like this.
