borderline insulting.
If anything is 'borderline insulting' it's IMHO the above.
While I can't imagine any good reason for keeping mixer4 source
code closed, the only consequence this should (and will) bring
is the reduced amount of support the author will get from this
(LAU/LAD) community. It should not be any pretext for ad-hominem
comments. And don't forget that many on this list are using things
like Mixbus. Is Harrison 'borderline insulting' as well ?
Agreed totally, Fons. Freedom includes the freedom to licence your
software how you want and the freedom to choose which software you use.
If you only want to use libre/OSS then you are free to do that.
The negative comment was definitely uncalled for.
