let you lead from the things
you didn't like, let you lead from the things you like instead. I
guess then it's necessary to let you know that we use /as well/ a
fork of your work, the zita-convolver library, in the guitarix
project. But we leave your copyright untouched, and the fork will
only come in use, when the user set a explicit compile flag. We
didn't promote it, or force the fork. Ordinary your original code
is in use. We do it to use ffmpeg instead fftw3 FFT, which perform
better on ARM devices.
but this sounds like the perfect opportunity to not do a simple fork,
but to send patches to upstream so fons' aeolus could support both
fftw3 and ffmpeg FFTs.
it might be a win-win situation, where not only more than just the
original aeolus users can profit from fons' work (because you use his
code) but also more than just your users can profit from your work
(because you changes are included into upstream aeolus).

+1 (or more if I could stuff the box, but as a long time broadcast engineer
I use a toothpick for a rowing oar in this crowd) because its an everybody
wins situation then.

If you don't have time to do it right, where are you going to find the time
to do it over?
