Is vst3 export safe to distribute or do i need to pay steinberg a fee?

[ospfeigrp]

I know that with vst legacy it was needed or so i was led to believe. I am using JUCE in gpl mode and it's just using the JUCE framework and not hise, the project is based off aksampler on github only i forked it and made loads of changes. I removed the need for wavpack compression and it now just loads normal wavs my main questions are am i free to distribute a vst3i and if juce is in gpl mode and the source is made available i presume i am good to go?

This isn't enough, you must release your project under the GPLv3 too.

@d-healey thanks for clarification David the plan was to create a decent sampler clone that has a gplv3 license and it's source is free and open that anyone can fork and modify.
