I know it's a totally valid point, but I believe some people (not 
torbenh) loves being able to shake off all responsibility and at same 
time comming out on top as the all-good-opensource-heros with a 
statement like that.

So this was not saying torbenh is this kinda guy. And it might be me, 
but I feel that every time a closed source app is discussed around here, 
there's always this tone of lack of respect for both the app and the 
guys using them. Which is a great shame, esp considering renoise is the 
most stable piece of software I ever ran and IMHO the most rounded 
musical application available under linux. I would love an open source 
app, but there just aren't many options (without sacrificing both 
features and stability). For me it's really like I pay 40 euro and can 
concentrate on what it's all about.

But again it might just be me, and this was, as I said, not really an 
accuse against torbenh, I guess it was just a "drop made my cup overflow"...

Sorry for the rant :-)
