Somebody fork the project if it’s legal to reverse engineer it, there is no comeback, they’ve got no ethics themselves, it won’t come back to bite ya.
Reverse engineer it, make it public domain, and sell your own tools, widen the community, bla bla, things will really start to happen.
Or live under the trowel, fawning over forum personalities and making fk all music.
You won’t have another life. You age fast, be your own man. Don’t live like this. Take over the project (if it’s legal to reverse engineer it). L I V E L I F E T O T H E M A X
Do it for shits n gigs, you’ve got nothing to lose by doing it and nothing to gain by not doing it. There are no real people on the project.
Make the project your way, and get your own team together, make zero profit, make a DAW that you would call your own. There will be no legal team after you, according to Stack Exchange - unless l’m mistaken, in which case l take that back
Ideas are universal. Let’s create a family of cloned DAWs at least similar to Renoise code. After all, this is all derived from public domain software anyhow.
It will take a while to get the core off the ground, but once it’s done, you’ll have flavours like Linux has. It would be something quite remarkable. It would surpass Renoise as it is now.
Imagine linking it up with other public domain codes to create a program that has the sweeping grandeur of a real DAW.
Imagine if GNU/Linux never left Stallmann’s hands.
There are no ethical considerations as long as it’s legal per se. Forget about anybody on the project, they don’t deserve anything. I know, harsh - but true.
