My name is "Dave", not "LV2", and I do not speak for "The LV2 Project" (if there is such a thing) every time I type a few words. I will now, though: LV2 is not GPLed to allow use by any and all software regardless of license. Since LV2 is an open standard and VST is not, widespread LV2 support is a win for openness, even if the application itself is not. Reaper or any other applications are more than welcome to implement LV2. -DR- P.S. I clearly accept that other people do not share my opinions on free software. It's a shame you and Dave Phillips must waste so much breath being closed minded and religious about it. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
