The source
doesn't matter to YOU.
Source of the apps, not source code. All of the good things about free
software are not constants that apply in every case or context. It's the fact's Jack, for most people source
code is worth bupkis. Just
because we happen to not be most people does not invalidate that.
I really couldn't care less.
Linux as an audio platform is about the _runtime_.
Linux audio _development_
is about the source code. Not everybody can or is willing to do both; it's a
barrier to adoption. I don't apologize for trying to reap some reward from
helping others over the barriers.
Um, no. You are attempting to tell me (and others) what my
opinion/cause is, not the other way around. Can you read?
I have zero interest in starting a childish little flame war over this,
my point was made. Your "cause" is not the same as everyone else's, get
over it - It's the fact's(sic) Jack
If you really don't get it: my cause is a 100% free software music
production system (and I don't really care what particular kernel that
system runs on for the record). Good, proprietary apps may be best for
your cause, but it sure as hell isn't best for mine.

Not everyone's standards/opinions are the same as yours.
That's a fair statement, but you telling me what my opinion is and what
matters to me is not having the effect you intended.
