Actually, the built-in Zyn has absolutely nothing to do with VST's. When Zyn 3.0 gets done there will probably be an initiative to integrate it into the LMMS codebase.
As for Steinberg license goes, there are no problems here. We use an reverse-engineered VST library that has nothing to do with Steinberg SDK, and as such its released as GPL v2 and can be included in LMMS without any legal issues. Though this approach and lack of debugging on windows is why currently the VST support is not as stable as it would be if we were using the Steinberg SDK.
