Hence Reaper would need to come with the appropriate Wine-lib stuff to be able to run the Windows (64 Bit) versions of these VSTs (including their GUI) and to allow doing the necessary licensing procedures for such commercial products.
(Muse Receptor shows that this in fact is possible !)

It's quite an unfortunate event that NI is beginning to ask for new windows features not supported by wine. For instance one can no longer update to the latest kontakt version in wine S) But I suppose that might be fixed with updates to wine at some point.
