Steinberg Just Changed Game! VST3 and ASIO Go Open Source

Steinberg made 2 major licensing announcements in October 2025: VST3 SDK 3.8.0 is now available under MIT open-source license, and ASIO is now dual-licensed under GPL3 or existing proprietary license. VST3 change eliminates requirement for developers to sign license agreements before distributing plugins, allowing free use and redistribution in any commercial or open-source project, while ASIO dual-license enables open-source applications to adopt GPL3 without affecting commercial developers who can continue using proprietary license.
