The following are under the GPL and thus require that Csound be converted to
GPL to link to them:

liblo
Loris

The following are under the LGPL (or dual-licensed with LGPL as an option):

ALSA
Jack
FLTK         (has some modifications to the license though)
fluidsynth
DSSI
LADSPA


Also, we should be distributing source code from our Sourceforge page for
any GPL or LGPL libraries that we are compiling ourselves and providing as
binaries in Csound packages.  (i.e. many of the above)

The following seem OK to me to link or include with Csound without any
requirements for redistributing source code or changing Csound's license:

Python (both opcodes and interface library)
Lua
Tcl/Tk
PortAudio (with the revised license)
PortMIDI  (with the revised license)


Whether the Java interface is legal or not would depend on the Java
distribution I suppose, and I am not going to attempt to make any judgement
about it.

Thus, to summarize, the current problems include liblo, Loris, STK, and the
VST stuff.
