     @Zergling_man Vocaloid software is all proprietary, same as the voice samples.
     
     If someone was to offer free voice samples, someone would go and write free software to sing with them.

     @Suiseiseki @FloatingGhost Vocaloid (software) is proprietary, Windows-only, closed-source software, isn't it?
     But I guess someone has already dumped the samples for most characters and you can just mix them however you please with whatever software.

     @Zergling_man Free has always meant freedom in English.
     
     For no charge, that has always been gratis, or free of charge, or zero price, although NPCs love shortening terms so much that they use words incorrectly.

     @Zergling_man An unauthorized copy of proprietary malware doesn't make it not proprietary malware.

     @themilkman Unfortunately that is written in mostly C#, which cannot be used in freedom - at minimum you need microsoft's proprietary bootstrap binaries.
     
     Most cases what seems to occur is that people program C# software on windows and there's a button that generates a GNU binary that definitely doesn't contain malware marked as "Linux" and if you were to actually try to compile it on GNU/Linux with mono or dotnet or whatever, it wouldn't.

     @Zergling_man @themilkman MIT expat is a free license, but it explicitly allows sublicensing and therefore actively encourages adding proprietary software to the project, therefore you need to actually check and confirm that a MIT expat licensed project is free before you can confidently say it is.

     @themilkman @burner @Suiseiseki Oh so it's not just shareware, but open-source.
     >github

     >MIT
     >not GPL
     🤔 MIT counts as free though, right? I remember Nadeko was MIT, which was always fun since there was a guy dutifully copying every commit into his totally-not-ripoff WizBot, and everyone knew about it, but since it was MIT he wasn't doing anything wrong.
     If it doesn't count, it'd be because other people can profit off it?

     @Zergling_man I don't even know what the nazi is on about when it comes to latency.
     
     You can configure GNU/Linux to achieve much lower audio latency than windows, or you can even compile Linux to be a firm realtime kernel.

     also if you want to do any audio work just dual boot windows. Trying to run a daw on linux isn't really worth the hassle imo
