not completely. the ardour and channel strip UI part is, but the actual
dsp guts are in a closed-source ladspa plugin written by harrison.

interesting question. i'm sure ben loftis can clarify. in any case,
there is certainly no ill will involved here.

i can see how harrison, given their prospective customer base, would not
want to talk about anything as scary source code on their product page... ;)
for them, the most elegant way would probably be a link in some README
in the download package.

happy new year, everyone!
