I see absolutely no rational justification for your indignation. Help me understand how this is an evolved, logical response, and not simply a matter of hurt feelings? No one can be rational 100% of the time, and we all have attachments to our works etc. But we don't often make public statements about it. If you change the license on your code, I'll just continue using the GPL'd versions which I have copies of. I may even create formal forks of them. And anyone else in the land of LAD who shares my sentiments will be unlikely to use and enjoy anything else you produce. That, to me, seems like it should be the opposite of what you want, but perhaps I'm mistaken. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think anyone doubts your DSP expertise. Whatever you want Aeolus to be is your vision. If someone wants to take the code, modify it, and use it to crank out inauthentic organ compositions, you have no right (or reason) to try and stop them. Many of us believe that even trying to do so (e.g. by releasing proprietary software) is morally wrong. Perhaps you didn't understand what you were getting into when you released code under the GPL, but it's a lot more than mere show-and-tell, it's an ethical philosophy.
