Hmmm, my understanding of the GPL we adopted was that it only applied to the source of RTcmix, _not_ to the 'enclosing' app. The way we set up the iRTcmix apps, we have a 'manager' class (source provided) that calls into the RTcmix engine. Any mods you would make to the RTcmix source *proper* would need to be published, but the app you develop that uses it would not.
I honestly thought I had put up the source for iLooch (it's in the next iRTcmix release), but it looks like the link on the web page is only to the iRTcmix source. Which is what would attach to your app, I *think*. brad On Feb 7, 2011, at 11:41 PM, Morgan Packard wrote: > Thanks Brad, > > Just bought ilooch. Lovely stuff.
