@Suiseiseki @Archivist Ardour, a gplv3 software aufio workstation sells binaries, the do not provide compilation instructions nor help for ardour but provide support for everything else and i think they even started offering paid support a while back, if you want to run ardour you got 3 options, buy a binary from the developers, get a binary from someone who builds ardour like some linux distributions do, compile ardour for yourself.
So far i've not seen anyone sell ardour binaries, but many linux distributions do compile ardour and have it on their repos.
If you are on m$ windows then you have to buy from ardour or compile it yourself.
