A quick 'ldd' of LinuxSampler showed that it links to libartsc.
However, libartsc is under the GPL, while LinuxSampler is not (as it adds an exception). Doesn't this make distribution LinuxSampler a violation of the libartsc license?

No it's not, it's released under the GNU Library General Public License.

You're right - the
debian copyright file suggests otherwise, but libartsc is definitely under the LGPL, so it's prefectly allright for LS to link to it.
Sorry
