Hey guys,

this question is related to open source distrubution of JUCE.&nbsp;I came across information about (non)compatibility VSTSKD (2.4 at least) and GNU GPL, under which is open source JUCE released. Although I didn't stutied the&nbsp;licences by myself I read some archives of VST mailing list (you can too).&nbsp;Do you know is there any update about VST3? What about AU SDK? It seems to be ok, isn't it? Do you have any thoughts or resources?

Thanks
