'A massive middle finger': Open-source audio fans up in arms after Audacity opts to add telemetry capture

Re: Good idea, badly communicated and implemented

As a long-term user of MuseScore - which is an extremely competent music notation application - and of Audacity, I'm relatively relaxed at present.

In the longer term, I'm not sure whether using a "freemium" revenue model to fund additional developers is actually sustainable, but as long as the software remains open source, that's actually a risk for Muse Group, not for its users. I'll be more concerned if economic imperatives cause a move towards a cloud model.
