151                            <h3>Can I use LinuxSampler for commercial music production?</h3>
152                            <p class="default">
153                            Hell, yes! Every indirect commercial usage of LinuxSampler, which essentially means
154                            using its audio output, can of course be used in commercial applications like music
155                            productions, live shows, etc. Don't get us wrong, with the mentioned commercial
156                            exception we don't want to restrict the normal user / musician, we just want to avoid
157                            somebody to directly make money with our work, that is by selling our software in a
158                            sampler product like a sampler + sample library bundle, a hardware sampler or
159                            something equivalent, at least not without giving something back to the open source
160                            Community.

164                            <h3>LinuxSampler is not open source, you are evil!</h3>
165                            <p class="default">
166                            There are of course many definitions of the term "open source", but according to the
167                            <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source">definition on Wikipedia</a>
168                            LinuxSampler is in fact open source, since you've got complete access to its source
169                            code. So due to this fact, a normal user / musician is free to do with LinuxSampler
170                            what he likes to do, he can even adjust and tweak every single part of the software
171                            by modifying and compiling its source code. And just the fact that we want to avoid
172                            our work to be directly exploited in commercial software or hardware products is
173                            definitely not an evil intention. For the normal user / musician the commercial
174                            restriction is even an advantage, since that way commercial actors are forced to
175                            support this or another open source project either directly by coding or indirectly
176                            by funding and thus increase development speed.
