Recently I was sent a Digital Millenium Copyright Act takedown notice
for the vst4cs/src directory in csound-extended, and the core Csound
developers also were sent this notice.

This happened because one of Steinberg's VST SDK files had been
renamed and incorporated into the Csound vst4cs opcode sources (before
I became involved).

I and the Csound developers have complied with the notice. The VST
features are no longer hosted or maintained in the Csound git
repository or in the csound-extended repository.

However, having obtained new licenses from Steinberg for the VST SDKs,
I am now hosting a "freeware" version of CsoundVST and the vst4cs
opcodes as Linux binaries. You can download them from here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hl3pamim4942jq9/csound-vst-0.2.0-Linux.tar.gz?dl=0

These seem to work just fine with the current version of Csound (API
version 4) on Ubuntu 17. I have not tried to test them on any other
Linux.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks Michael, this is a great relief. It can, of course, be hoped that
in future a way can be found to maintain VST support in the source form.
But for now this is wonderful. I've downloaded the distribution.

I can run the csoundvstmain binary,although it, naturally, prints an
error about having no GUI, I run a console only system, mostly.

My system is Arch Linux 64bit. I suppose the vst4cs opcodes will equally
work with my normal Csound version though.

Best wishes and thanks again,

Jeanette
