Textually: "Why do you feel open source is important, and what for you is the most important aspect of Linux audio? Because I just don't trust proprietary code. Call me paranoid, but in reality I'm just lazy :) I like to know that somebody, somewhere, and preferably me, has read the code that I execute. But this is only one reason. I find the proprietary world a PITA of dongles, cracks download sites and talkative installers. I prefer to talk to the coding team through a bugtracker than to "contact technical services". I want to re-install a studio machine in one command that will pull everything I need ; I want to spend more time doing just music. It's basic hygiene. I use FLOSS, I write FLOSS code, and that's it." So then what's wrong with proprietary code in Linux, etc, etc. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
