I had no idea it worked like this! I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or anything (in case anybody thought so) - these were genuine questions about how these things workHe is talking about the legal possible implications, if he would willing to do the task, and I would do it too, if I was in his place. All this legal stuff sucks, especially when we are talking about reworking an open source software, but the law is the law. Steinberg decided to bury the SDK, instead of making it LGPL, for example. It's their prerogative.
Maybe we need a legal "VST adapter" type program to be written (like we used to use to run dx plugins as vst ones) - and then new devs could write to this interface
We could crowdfund it and call it the "KVR adapter", or if we need more money, get together with people from gearslutz etc...
Of course, this might be completely unrealistic
