The Muse Group stirs up the hive again proposing a Contributor Agreement License that would let them relicense Audacity at will and make it proprietary.

@unfa would they be able to make it proprietary without dropping every single piece of code that was written before the CLA would be added?
either way, I'm surprised they actually thought this was a good idea after all the controversy they just had a few days ago
@tromino @unfa audacity will remain opensource. the mobile version that is based on audacity core code most likely will not.
This is already the case for musescore, not just a theory.
The CLA was already in place, this just made it public.
It is funny they act like they want opinions on it though, as if backlash against it would change anything 💩
@falktx @tromino @unfa 90% of contribution are covered by the CLA before it was made public, that doesn't sound like they want opinions. With the CLA being signed it doesn't matter what people think
