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 ?
