I'm willing to bet that any form of sampling of the sounds for use in 
your song will not be allowed.  It's pretty obvious if you take some of 
Rob Papen's programmed sounds from Albino and sample them to use in one 
of your songs and you've only got them from a demo, it will not be 
allowed.  If you own Albino, sample them and use them in your own 
songs, I suspect that technically it is not allowed but they won't care 
(and wouldn't be able to prove that you sampled them instead of using 
the synth itself).

Bottom line is that I don't think that you'll get anywhere with them or 
any other VSTi developer.
