Well, you know what the name "Avid" suggests? ;-) But that doesn't necessarily mean that they would profit less or more from taking the OS step. However, it might require an enlightening dream in the copyright owners :) In the meantime, our strategy as lilypond etc users, as well as for the Sibelius community, seems to be to interpret their compressed file formats and implement a better free alternative, the same as OpenOffice/LibreOffice have. And hope for the best... :) M _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
