![]() ![]() How many professional applicaitons of this level have you seen just suddenly give away the source code, which other current competitors could then copy and use without recourse for their own financial gain?Ĭakewalk is a huge value add to the Bandlab brand. Millions of dollars of development have gone into creating this applcation that has evolved over decades now. I don't see how making it open source decreases it's value it just makes the company and application more transparent. We put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the application, and that has value, whether the app is being sold or not. Just because an application is free does not mean it has to be open source. It's the same core application that was being sold as SONAR Platinum previously, no nefarious changes, just continued active development. BandLab acquired the intellectual rights for Cakewalk properties, and chooses to provide it free to users. The ability to revoke this consent is not in the settings. It is also strange to note that according to their privacy policy, they "will not rent or sell your Information to Third Parties without your consent". What would be lost if it were open source? Instead of a negative, Bandlab would probably get attention and support, especially from those in the Linux community. ![]() The fact that Cakewalk isn't open source leads me to believe that Bandlab must be hiding something. It's too good to be true that Cakewalk is free. ![]()
