#Ardour software example code
Ardour is Libre software - the source code is always available and you may do whatever you want with it as long as you grant the same rights to anyone you give it to. It is important that you understand this. Its why many people prefer to use the French word “Libre” to distinguish it from “Gratis”, or use the phrase “free as in speech, not free as in beer”. The amount can be as little as US$1, which is less than you will be asked to pay for any comparable software.Īs for the word “Free”, it has always been a problem in English when discussing GPL-licensed software. If this is too much work (and believe me, on OS X in particular, it is a lot of work), then you can consider paying something to have that work done for you. As others have noted, but I will repeat, there is never any requirement to pay for Ardour - you can download the source code at all times and build it yourself.
