Moreover, Native Instruments offers the service to do the technical license management for the library creators to allow them to protect their valuable work. (It’s close to impossible to do technical license management with something that is not software.)
The downside is that there is no Kontakt for Linux.
Moreover, it’s not possible to create/get completely free libraries for Kontakt. Either the user needs to pay for the full Kontakt version, or the library provider needs to pay NI for the technical license management service, while the user can use the free Kontakt Player. This of course is perfectly incompatible with the usual Linux licensing scheme (GPL).
