Wow, this seems like a fantastic idea if your goal is to scare the crap out of the commercial manufacturing side of the digital audio world, cause hesitation in further participation in the linux/open source community, and get an individual contributor to the community fired from his job/sued.

Muse makes interesting, helpful products, has a lot of valuable IP invested in computer audio production, and as a result of this exchange very likely are about to institute a corporate policy dictating their employees never contribute any of that knowledge to public forums such as this.

Nice work.


Although I am totally with you on that the posting should be removed from the official archive, which has happened by now, I can understand the furor. 

Being p###ed off by and avoiding NDAs is one of the founding myths of the free software movement:

You can easily find the famous "printer story" in the text by searching it for "tym".


It's good to see Michael's problem solved.

Hello all,

Given the nature of this discussion, I am CCing the linux-audio-user
mailing list since this is about deleting legitimate content from the
archives because of a company that produces some of those shitty software
locks. I'm not gonna go easy on this.

First of all, let me remind you, and every linux-audio-user member out
there that the archives *ARE PUBLIC*, and thus what you post here will be
eventually readable by the *WHOLE WORLD*.

Read this again: the archives *ARE PUBLIC*, and thus what you post here
will be eventually readable by the *WHOLE WORLD*
Once more just to make sure: the archives *ARE PUBLIC*, and thus what you
post here will be eventually readable by the *WHOLE WORLD*

Deleting the post is not going to happen, I am only willing to censor the
one post that poses an issue provided the name of the company is mentioned
on a censor banner inside the post. The least we can do with such a case is
add a little public humiliation to this.

Also I would like to say that this is the one and only time that this
happens. Next time, the original poster will face the legal consequences. I
hope this is crystal clear to every one reading.

Just to make sure we are talking about the right post, is it this one ?
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2007-January/041742.html

I will not even read a reply that does not include the linux-audio-user
list in CC.

Cheers,
