That's actually what my question above yours was intended at and as I interpret things (I'm no laywer though), yes, it would mean host developers are no longer allowed to host VST2 plugins.Sorry if I should have missed a point. But when Steinberg is going to force developers to drop VST2 - does that mean DAW vendours are also not allowed to support VST2 plugins anymore in the future and they need to disable this feature? Would be bad for all the still running but not maintained plugins.
It's difficult for me to understand what's going on and why. I mean, since VST3 is decades old, Steinberg just could have dropped maintenance and support, five or ten years ago, and for the Apple world VST2 would have run out in average in 3-5 years and after that for the Windows world it would also fade away slowly. Why do they do this unsympathic step, instead just dropping it and playing the cool guy?
I mean the previous exception (see above) for DAWs/hosts to still host VST2 plugin seems to be revoked with the current license and I see no new exception there.
Or am I interpreting things wrongly? Image may be NSFW.

edit:
Hm wait, but what if host developers which have a previous license never sign this new one? I'm confused. Image may be NSFW.
