I have a question in regards to a project I'm working on. I making something that can create and combine ZynAddSubFX preset files using the XML format that LMMS uses. Because I have to have a template of the XML in the code, does that mean my code must be released under GPL 2.0? In other words, a blank default preset file is in my code. I would prefer to release my project as CC0, WTFPL, MIT, or something more open. If I can't I guess I can't.

Afaik only our collection of samples are GPL2. The MMP format is fully open, since its simple XML, so you should be able to use a MMP-template as you like.
Your code in your APP is transparent in respect to the LMMS libraries, so if you do not use any class from the source, then you can set the rights of your code, as you like.

Besides that, since you are new in Forum
