Well, I definitely didn't think you were full of shit! But I see 
no negative statements against doing what you did. They simply 
said that you can't include their code directly... they want 
people who download your code to have to download the sdk from 
Steinberg.

You own your code, no one else, not even Steinberg... but you 
don't own or have the right, as they mention, to publish their 
code with yours.

Creating bindings is not a license infraction.

Are you using any of their source code from the vst sdk? If you 
hand re-write any of their source code, it is yours.

You say that the only two files from the sdk are aeffect.h and 
aeffectx.h, right?

Is it these:

https://github.com/falkTX/dssi-vst/blob/master/vestige/aeffectx.h

https://sourceforge.net/u/geyan123d/freepiano/ci/54f876d52c6f49925495f7ed880bd2434bda0504/tree/src/vst/aeffect.h?format=raw

http://www.dith.it/listing/vst_stuff/vstsdk2.4/doc/html/aeffect_8h.html

https://source.openmpt.org/svn/openmpt/branches/devBranch_1_17_03/include/AEffect.h

etc...

If so, as you can see, people already do what your wanting to do 
and their is probably a reason they stopped responding, and it's 
because they can't do much as long as you don't include anything 
from them.

Of course, don't take my word... maybe ask on stack overflow or 
something? If you are simply worried about being sued then that 
problem is relatively easily fixed! Just ask Walter or Andrei to 
fund your defense ;)

Don't let your hard work go to waste! ;) I think you should be 
more afraid of all the questions I'll be asking you on how to use 
it rather than being sued by Steinberg! ;)
