That's correct. They'd have to use a clean-room reimplementation of the VST API, and I don't know of such a thing. However, a secondary package, even one that LMMS automatically downloads on its first run, would be okay. Lots of packages do this, such as ttf-mscorefonts-installer, flashplugin-installer, winetricks and the Ubuntu video driver installer. That assumes LMMS can load VST DLLs from a user's home directory. I haven't used VSTs since my Windows days so I don't know if that's the case. If nothing else, having a "starter pack" of freely redistributable VST plugins available on the website would be good as a way to get users started without the scary Google search, and might even get packaged into the non-free sections of Linux distros. But if a new user isn't aware of a VST he wants to use, why would we push him that way? It's not like LMMS is lacking for native instruments. I don't think there's anything I've ever needed that couldn't be addressed by samples/.pat files, Triple and Zyn, personally, but admittedly I've never tried to capture the flavor of the week or even make dance music.
