Well, most of them. I don't know if I like it or not as I was not speaking to the particular issue at hand but to the general. Below modded a bit for layour purposes: "Even if he does not, he has the right to determine: how his software should be used, what should be patched, what should be improved." Within any developer's copy of their code, I agree with the second two, but the right to determine how it should be used once in the hands of users? (If that is what you meant, I don't think I agree with that. If you meant something else, another clarification would be appreciated. all the best, drew _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
