You're mistaken. There is difference between non-free and a _violated_
GPL2. The linuxsampler license seems to be illegal.

In gentoo, we have another politic with the licences. The free

It isn't clear that linuxsampler's license is legal. They use the GPL2
and then add restrictions, which is prohibited by the GPL. It may or may
not affect the license, but either way it is a wierd situation.
