glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and
this we should do freely and generously."

May I ask what use a private military contractor
has for
audiotools?
Most of the defence contractor types working on the -rt kernel seem to
be doing simulation stuff. But I can think of a zillion other uses.
There are devices you can scatter around a position that talk to each
other and can detect intruders by sound and will tell you if the
perimeter is breached. I would expect active noise suppression to be
popular with defence contractors. Etc...
