@voidlink_ >While not linear "More eyes" translates to more developers, and that in turn is potential for more FOSS devs
With proprietary software, it's not possible for anyone but the chosen to be a developer - if you want to be one, you have to grovel at the feet of the proprietary masters and beg to be allowed to do gratis work for them.

Why would people looking to be used by a proprietary DAW be developers exactly?

>The ironic thing about FOSS related movements and all its derivatives
Free software was the original and the best - "FOSS" is an much newer attempt to subvert freedom by confusing people into thinking that free software was written to be gratis and source-available, rather than give the users freedom.

>tend to forget that "Freedom" gives you the freedom to use whatever you want.
Yes, you have the freedom to shoot your feet, but that's clearly a foolish thing to do.
