This though is unfortunately GPL2, making it useless in most cases.
(it seems their primary concern has been simply to provide VST support for GPL projects. not a 'free' BSD licensed interface SDK.)
LGPL2 would be acceptable.
VST3: Is it worth supporting?

When I started developing plugins, I re-implemented the VST interface in pure C, mostly as an exercise in seeing all of what the SDK provided. I referred directly to the pluginterfaces headers for most of it (so, technically, it's tainted), but, in the event clean-room reimplementation is unnecessary, I could clean that up and upload it somewhere.
In the event we'd need something clean-room and un-tainted, what would be suitable as an intermediary format for describing the interface?

Your lawyer will say something like:
"How much would it cost to license it?"
"Free you say? Then license it."
*hands you invoice for $500 of consulting*
I've started writing one though, but never bothered to finish it.
I don't think it's required. Going by the definitions handed down by the courts c or c++ is just fine, so long as it is the bare implementation which couldn't be implemented any other way.
