Hi, Daniel, great stuff. I'm producing slide presentation for the Jan 15, 2004 NAMM show at Anahiem, California. This presentation is for a commercial product but a fair portion of it focuses on LAD/LAU, GPL. The angle is why Open Source produces quality software and why it's a good investment for end users and commercial interests. I would be interested in reading a document that describes what this community considers appropriate commercial usage and ideal participation between business interests and the LAD/LAU community. I imagine it could be a brief document. This is a topic I need to discuss at NAMM. Whether any Open Source community should write such a document isn't entirely clear to me--Open Source licenses are their for a reason. Perhaps it's best if I write something based on my interpretations. I think it's good that Linux Audio will be represented at the Sounds Expo. It seems like an interesting time to begin presenting LAD/LAU and carefully defining and presenting the spirit of this community.
