Hi Christian, I think there is a little misunderstanding in Fernandos Email from yesterday: 1.) Zynthian is not a company, nor an organization. It's an open community. 2.) Zynthian is not a "product", it is an open specificacion for building a device. 3.) Any economic activity related to Zynthian, like selling kits, organizing workshops, etc. is realized by individuals. Everybody can print the PCBs and sell kits, or organize workshops, because the specification is completely free. Anyway, we don't want to act against the will of linuxsampler team, so, if you wish, we will remove the linuxsampler's binary from the official SD images. That is very clear. We don't want to offend anybody. It's a great pity for us, really! But also for you ... think about it! We play in the same team!! We are trying to bring free software tools to the wide community of musicians around the world. By offering these tools through an open platform like Zynthian, we create a bridge from Windows/Apple world towards Linux and free software arena. We believe it's something that should be done...
