Qsampler has no use

I wanted to work with a .SFZ soundfont type file and read that only a program called LinuxSampler, which has an issue with the backend having a non-commercial restriction, can do it. I saw Qsampler in the repos and thought it might work, but when I installed it, it just said "cannot connect to server". It turns out that it too relies on this LinuxSampler program. If we are not going to have LinuxSampler, there is no point in having Qsampler, which relies on it.
I filed a bug for you
Thanks, it is not so much proprietary as it is restricted. Most of LinuxSampler is GPLv2, but the non-commercial restriction of the backend renders it non-Free in the sense that you cannot redistribute it commercially. I do think that is different from being entirely proprietary. Still non-Free, but just clarifying.
Has anyone tried contacting the developers to change their current licesning? It really makes no sense, it's already GPL and companies are already going to steal the code if they wanted to. So holding LinuxSampler back for this is really sad...
