A long time ago, I asked the author of Baudline if he could release his source code using a free software license. He argued that it would be impossible to make money with a free licence. I tried to explain that it could be possible, using a hybrid licensing scheme, and that developers are making money developing only free softwares. For some strange reason, he decided to "release" the source as GPL, without making it unavailable for download, asking some unknown amount of money to get a copy. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
