Rather. I completely agree.

When people use the Open Source community to develop an application,
but then take it private in an apparentl attempt to use it for their
personal financial benefit, we get things like this happening. It's
not that it isn't available. I suppose it is. I just use GigaStudio
and Acid Pro for my sampling and loop playing needs and left LS
behind.

All of this is supposition and patently unfair, I'm sure, but the
developers wouldn't explain their actions in an open forum so that
we'd understand it so we were (I was) left with no option but to
guess.

Cheers,
