I wonder if this change will get Audacity dropped from some distros. Naively, I'd think that at least Debain and Fedora would have qualms. | From: Stewart C. Russell via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Audacity is GPL 2. It could be forked. I guess it should be forked. On github, there are 1.6k forks already. Just in case, I added one: https://github.com/HughR/audacity I have made no changes. In particular, I haven't even searched for undesireable code. I have no idea if creating a fork prevents the tree from being withdrawn. It would be good to figure out which fork to back and where a new community might form. Of course the first job is to come up with a new name. Shorter is good. Auditor? Oh wait, that has a pretty settled meaning. "The Aud"? That was the nickname of the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (demolished in 2009).
