I never wrote a line of code in LS and don't want anyone to think I did. However I would strongly suggest that LS wouldn't have made nearly the progress is did make in the time it did without all the work I did looking for inconsistencies in how GigaStudio handled a specific gig file vs how LS did. My contribution was to push them to make a product that professional users of GSt would consider using. However, I wrote no code and my name appears nowhere in any file, as is probably appropriate. > > > I'm not personally sure what the FSF could really do for us on this > > subject but I'd be interested in knowing. > > It's not up to the FSF, as long as they don't hold the copyright to > the work. > > > -- > Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a > http://www. s t n m > irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact > sip:b0ef@ e e > jid:b0ef@ n n > _______________________________________________ > > > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user > _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
