Good question - it simply didn't occur to me!
I just mailed them and will post their response here.

Dear Linplug,

Would it be legal for me to download the demos of some of your
excellent products, sample the sounds and then use these samples in 
my songs - that is, without actually buying the products in question?

The reason I'm asking is because of this sentence on your homepage:

"The Demos are fully functional. The only restriction that applies to
demo versions is that they emit a noise about once every minute."

There is a thread on the Emagic EXS24 discussion group about whether
or not this means there is no legal restriction on the use of these
demo versions (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exs-users/)

I would like to stress that I fully intend to stay within the
boundaries of the law and have no intentions of taking advantage of
any of your products in a manner you didn't mean to allow - 
regardless of the exact wording of licenses etc. That said, if you 
give the green light, I will not hesitate to add some of these 
lovely sounds to my sample library.

I have posted this e-mail on the discussion group and will take the
liberty of posting your reply there also, if it's okay.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,
Henrik Buus Jensen
