Another example, Behringer ships Audacity with every

they sell. Clearly the global market leader for audio production
hardware sees some value in open source too. We can get an idea of
their market base by looking at their end of year or quarterly
financial reports.
From Behringer I own a Modulizer Pro, ADA 8000 and an
Eurorack UB2442FX.
I never noticed even a hint to Audacity by a slip of paper. I
don't
claim that there isn't such a hint, but I never noticed it. You
shouldn't expect that customers take care about all the slip of paper,
stickers, advertising brochures etc., that ship with a Behringer
product. I don't think that I'm the only one thinking that those things
are waste. Who does put on a Behringer sticker on something? Even if
some people should notice that there is a hint to Audacity, that doesn't
mean that they attach more value to it, than to a sticker.
