Bug#90949: Fw: LADSPA LGPL Shock



So, this seems to be the case, we can go forward.

Please Build-depend: ladspa-sdk-dev


ladspa-sdk will contain the sample plugins, and ladspa-sdk-dev would 
contain the header files and documentation.

Subject: LADSPA LGPL Shock


Against all expectation I've managed to find time to do a LGPL release of
LADSPA.

I'm not entirely happy about this scenario - see
http://www.ladspa.org/cmt/license.html and
http://www.ladspa.org/ladspa_sdk/license.html for some issues. However this
approach puts at least some license on LADSPA so that it can be released in
Linux distributions - it will need tweaking to make it less restrictive so
that it can be used with closed-source hosts and plugins. Any lawyers out
there?

Apologies to everyone for the delay, and thanks to Kai who suggested
more-or-less this approach to me weeks ago...
