Bug#859793: fluidsynth: Package has infringed GPL
Dear Chris Bagwell, In 1999, you imported src/chorus.c to SoX on SourceForge.[6] File is copyrighted by Juergen Mueller and sundry contributors. Could you tell us where we could find the original project or how to contact Juergen Mueller?

Bug#859808: composite: Composite not ready for being qualified package of Debian yet.
Hi James, On 04/08/2017 04:27 PM, James Cowgill wrote: I don't think I misunderstood, I just don't know much about hydrogen or composite. Obviously the GUIs look almost identical, and I think it would be better to drop composite if users can be switched to hydrogen with no loss in functionality. I agree with you.

It's not the same here. I agree with you, again.

Bug#859808: composite: Composite not ready for being qualified package of Debian yet.
Hi Gabriel, Thanks for taking the time to chime in here. I really appreciate your open and clear statement about the status of the project. It helps me a lot here, since many seem not to get where I come from with this issue, which, by the way, was a recommendation on IRC #debian-next and not my first idea on the list how to solve this. I hope you know that it never was my intension to offend anybody. I really appreciate the hard work all contributors give to their projects because I know how hard it can be. Thanks for your efforts to contribute to audio software on Linux. And thanks again for your open and unbiased support on this. Greetings from Berlin!

While it did offer a little bit of useful functionality (the hydrogen drumkits as an LV2 plugin), it overall was the beginnings of a new project, and Debian added it before it even developed a character of its own. It was never intended that it would detract from or cause confusion with the original Hydrogen project. The only reason why it looks like an old version of Hydrogen is that I had not yet gotten around to a useable replacement UI. And while I would love to go back to work on the project, for all intents and purposes it's dead. I don't have time to work on it. And as compiler changes and libraries move forward, I don't think the Debian devs should bother maintaining this package. Whoever added it to Debian I'm sure had good intentions, perhaps thinking it would help the project. However, it did not help the project. I support the removal of Composite from Debian. -gabe ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

I still don't understand what scary you? Having Hydrogen and Composite in archive together is totally harmless. Only reported issue is some "confused Hydrogen users" ( or maybe you? ) ... do you have some numbers how many of them ? Maybe we can add note to Hydrogen manpages "If you want launch Hydrogen double_click Hydrogen icon ... If you want launch Composite double_click Composite icon" Sorry for sarcasm, but really think we are solving here pseudo-problem. :/ Hi mira, You maybe shouldn't get things too personal. Nobody is saying that YOU as a pro audio user are like the ones I was talking about. And to understand that they are kind of silly from what I sad, is far beyond of what I meant with that many of them are no developers and that not only a few of them often even do dip really deep into their OS and software nor code, etc. Sorry when my non native tongue mixes things up here for you, or that you are kind of sensitive about this, but to underline that you are a pro audio user who is not in that list, shows off, that we do not talk the same direction here. I am pro audio professional since 30 years and have developed software for our studios and have lead many international music projects and I am pretty okay with my latest statement. Which has offended you maybe, but that wasn't my intension. Only that the install graph like this for an audio software package says nothing. And with "simplified" I meant too simple in its conclusion. Not because of being statistic. The statistics aren't the problem mostly, but its (possibly wrong) evaluation. No, we do not solve "pseudo-problems" here. Only the personal parts of this discussion drift away IMHO. The problem is that you do not understand my motivation nor my intension and you do miss what I know about Hydrogen and Composite, as you can see by the very professional and clear statement of the developer of the software right after you here in the bug report. That is exactly what was my impression about the status of Composite and he confirmed it (Thanks Gabriel for chiming in).
