Use vst3-rs for VST3 binding to solve the licensing problem?

[Cookee24]

vst3-rs is a library that use libclang to scan the headers of C++ VST3 sdk and then generate the rust bindings. Can we use that to bypass the licensing issue?

That's been the plan, but I haven't had the time yet to figure out a way to do so without making it more complicated to use NIH-plug. Ideally I'd generate a GPLv3 licensed package that just works on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and on at least AMD64 and AArch64, so you could then swap the package out for the normal vst3-rs if you want to use VST3 under Steinberg's proprietary license instead. I guess creating a thin GPLv3 wrapper crate around it that vendors the VST3 SDK and invokes vst3-bindgen with that is an option, but ideally it should be possible to build NIH-plug without requiring libclang/bindgen.
