i'm currently thinking about packaging "linuxsampler", which has a somewhat abominable license, which they call "GPL with commercial exception" [1]. however, it is unclear whether this license allows us to distribute the software in "non-free", or whether the contradictory nature renders the entire license void (and thus un-distributable by us). i haven't contacted upstream yet, but i am under the impression that they won't change the "commercial exception" (they have been defending it since 2002). i will however contact them to ask them for at least an alternate license that would fit their needs (e.g. prohibit commercial use) but would also allow us to distribute it (in non-free). any suggestions about which license i should suggest? (no i don't like this idea very much either; i'm just trying to be realistic). gmsdr IOhannes [1] https://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#exception
