rather pointless.
As far as I'm concerned, Fernando has hit the nail on the head. I
think Marek is talking about Ardour, but I doubt if Paul's total
motivation is monetary return.

Most probably you will find out (when/if other developers care to speak
out) that this view is shared by many, if not all, developers, and not
just in the audio world. Great projects in the open source community
usually happen when a motivated individual or group _needs_ something.
It is not the needs of the world (usually), or "user demand", or the
desire to fill or create a marketing niche, it is their need.
That is very untrue, and evolution and the motivations behind that app
prove that.
