I thought they would charge something for osx version, but thats also free! I support the ardour project with a subscription because I do all movie-postproduction with ardour (or now with mixbus since that came out on linux recently) and I really like the project. it develops very fast to a very powerful DAW. the ardour financial model works very well I think, but for this specific project. I d say every project needs to find its unique way to finance itself.. you can hardly find a general rule how it works or should work. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
