Rubin Farr Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I've been following Link for a while, very cool to see it develop like this so quickly, and with powerful partners: http://cdm.link/2016/09/ableton-opening-link-everyone-starting-today/ Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Positive Metal Attitude Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/91632-ableton-link-open-source/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 this is open source with a prohibitive license. Call me when I don't have to sign an NDA with Ableton to use it in a commercial app. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/91632-ableton-link-open-source/#findComment-2485636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me when I don't have to sign an NDA with Ableton to use it in a commercial app. Open source has always been pretty dicey to be honest, right from its beginning as a splinter faction of the Free Software movement who wanted to strip away as much of the ideological framework as possible and turn it in to a business-friendly counterpart to Free Software. Good things have come out of the Open Source world of course, but at its root fundamental goal of Open Source is free labor. In the popular imagination "open source" and :commercial" are diametrically opposed, but in reality they aren't at all, and are often very closely intertwined. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide TubularCorporation's signature Hide all signatures Lagoon City (from here to eternity/when I'm sick of it) Codemus2x43 (2013-14) Golfhammer 40,000 (2014-15) Tubular Corporation (2016-17) THawkins' archive of our livestreams since 2020 Instagram (new releases, music bullshit, non-music bullshit and sometimes photos of my lunch) Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/91632-ableton-link-open-source/#findComment-2485679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 My point was, it's cool to see all of these softwares playing nice together while minimizing interfacing, that helps collaboration, improvisation, and live performance / jamming. Local / indie label / bandcamp musicians can put on group performances easier, and just ordinary Joes like teens can explore their creativity while hanging out, or whatever they call it these days, lol.

acid1 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm cool with sharing any code even if i'm not a fan of the code style. Compared to most companies, this is a welcomed step for me in the right direction.
