Closed minded? /I'm/ not the one so completely offended by the fact
that someone else doesn't share my opinion.

Well, maybe it's because I have the good right to do so. :)
Look, I'm trying to remind people here that what they say here can make
or break involvement with Linux audio (which is in fact a much larger
world than the one represented here). As a point, let me ask: How many
new developers have joined the Ardour team in the past two years ? How
many projects represented here have found an adequate supply of talent
to cover all their development bases ? Can we really afford to sour
*anyone* on the possibilities of Linux audio ? Is it really too much to
ask that we remain civil even to those who seem to represent the
opposite side ? So responding with sarcasm, "We'll do it
my way or not at all"
conditions, and a confrontive attitude qualifies as "the spirit of
collaboration" ? Geez, you guys are really winning me over.
It's the good right of Dave and Lars to not care or even outright
reject closed software. They could have said it more diplomatic
terms ... but now you make a drama of it.
