NOTICE
When you are developing a plugin with NPlug, your plugin needs to comply with the VST 3 Licensing. If your plugin is distributed, it needs to either be published under:
- The Proprietary Steinberg VST 3 license if you want to keep your plugin closed source.
- The Open-source GPLv3 license if you want to make your plugin OSS.
What it means is that you are allowed to modify and redistribute NPlug (according to the BSD-2-Clause
