you don't have to pay but you have to register and accept their license.
therefore it is not really free and incompatible with the gpl license.
you are not allowed to distribute binaries of your vst plugins if you use gpl code because you can't include the steinberg sdk into your repository due to their license. this has been discussed in countless forums already.
therefore a real free solution for audio plug-ins would be nice and lv2 seems to be the only attempt so far. but some more hosts have to jump into that boat to make it worth developing plugins for it.
