In fact this is a good example of how Free Software enables users, even if they don't code themselves: it's my understanding that Adam Good, who plays Turkish music professionally (with NYC band Dolunay among others), raised money to hire programmers to extend Lilypond to support Turkish. I'm an acquaintance of Adam's and he typically uses proprietary software, so he's not using Lilypond (with Frescobaldi) on ideological grounds. Nevertheless he's seeing the benefit of the GPL (as am I!).
This is highly unusual -- are you saying that Adam Good rejects using Lilypond, the free software program he raised money to improve? Perhaps you could expand on that or ask him to post here to help readers understand more of what's going on with that choice.
Relatedly, what are the "ideological grounds" to which you refer? Thanks. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
