[jokosher-devel] It had to happen sooner or later...

[Chris Brown]

Hi Folks,

I'm being asked to explicitly define the license Jokosher is
distributed under. GPL is fine, but it does mean that according to:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing

A GPL or LGPL licensed package that lacks any statement of what
version that it's licensed under in the source code/program
output/accompanying docs is technically licensed under *any* version
of the GPL or LGPL, not just the version in whatever COPYING file they
include.

A quick grep through the source code only shows that the docs are
distributed under GFDL 1.1 or later.

Could one of the devs give a definitive answer on this, even if you
hate licenses and think that the GPLv3 eats babies. I promise I am not
an undercover agent trying to start another GPL argument but it is
causing some drastic changes in my distro of choice, as it may well be
doing in others. As I see it the options are:

GPL (qv. I couldn't care less)
GPL v2 only
GPL v2 or later
GPL v3 only (hahaha. okay I've stopped laughing now).
GPL v3 or later (crystal ball stuff)

Let the games begin! - Hedonismbot, Futurama

Cheers
Chris

Re: [jokosher-devel] [PATCH] Fixed solo button behaviour

I disagree about such functionality. For example, Cubase allows to
have solos on as much instruments as you want. Therefore with Solo
fuction you can cherry pick channels for playing them together.
Otherwise you would have to silent rest of channels which is quite
foolish.

Just my 2 cents,
Peteris Krisjanis.

2007/6/18, Knut Erik Teigen [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Hello again,

 I noticed that if you have soloed an instrument, when you press the solo
 button of another instrument, the previous instrument
 will still have solo status. The intuitive behavior is that if another
 instrument gets solo status, the solo status for the original instrument
 will be disabled.
 I've added code so that when the solo button is pressed, any other
 instruments with solo status are unsoloed.

 Regards,
 Knut Erik Teigen



Firstly, hello Knut and welcome to the Jokosher project! Its awesome to see
musical coders (or coding musicians) getting involved as you're exactly the
kind of people the project needs on board to help it grow and to make the
1.0 release rock like that AC/DC performance at Donnington did.

With regards to the functionality I think that having multiple solo
instruments (and calling the button Solo) is confusing. If Cubase does this
and calls the button Solo then besides having no grasp of the English
language they are idiots. The point of a solo is that it is just that - a
piece or recording performed on its own. What is wrong with toggling the
recording button on for those instruments you wish to use? I would hope that
hitting the solo button allows users to concentrate solely on that channel -
I imagine it is for this reason that Knut has added the code he has and it
should therefore be considered for acceptance.

Regards
Chris
