Hello all -
I'm writing an article for Computer Music Magazine (U.K.) about the
EnergyXT Linux port. I'm looking to get reactions from the Linux
audio user and developer community about it -- particularly with
respect to the fact that this software will not be free and not be
open source...
If you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts on this topic, please e-
mail me directly at this address: natalia47<at>gmail<dot>com.
Thanks!

Well, for them to have interest, there has to be a viable market, and
currently there isn't--we are too small and too involved in the
free as in
free speech concepts (please do not get me wrong, I am totally for
this kind
of an approach, I am simply trying to depict the reasoning behind
this
apparent lack of interest). Hence, the only way they will ever
consider our
market is if we find someone who is:
1) sympathetic
2) willing to invest *little* time to recompile their work for Linux
And Linux people who will pay for it. If the Linux product is free,
their customers may start to say. "Hmmm, why am I paying for the
Windows version when I can use the Lunix version for free???"
