As I see it, ReBorn was mostly about the interface and the compatibility with ReBirth. We didn't see the code yet, but as it used gsynth stuff and as 303 emulators are quite common (there are 303s for Csound, there is vcf303, there is gsynth,...), this part of the ReBorn code probably isn't _that_ interesting. And the drums were sampled... It's more important, that David put together all of this into a quite professional, commercial grade package with excellent dokumentation, and I don't see, why I should believe that he wouldn't have released the source in a few days or weeks. But I, too, would have wished to have the source *with* the binary. And obviously David's fault - free software wise - has been to be too quick and to release the binary without acompanying source right away. Maybe he just should have waited, because, as we see now, this is a Pandora's box opened. Personally I wanted to wait just a bit for the source, I have no problem with that. As I said in an earlier mail, a ReBirth clone wasn't exactly what I intended to use much anyways. But now, with the lawyers of "Pro-Boneheads" going after ReBorn we have a really sad situation. And to mourn, that this would be less sad, if the source was going through the net already, doesn't help either. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
