Sometimes I think that the many different interpretations of &amp;quot;open source&amp;quot; leads to clash and conflict. There is the side where open source is merely a way to share code, a side where it is primarily community oriented,a side where FOSS is a mechanism of freedom and liberation, and so on.&lt;p&gt;I think this incident makes me feel that in any commercially-focused open source project I create I should be clear or that intention. Otherwise my focus on releasing code, and building a business and the corresponding lack of focus on community niceties may come back to bite me.&lt;p&gt;Open source is not necessarily about the community and not necessarily about you. I think it would be good to fork the project to make a community focused variant. I don&amp;#x27;t think the VCV rack guy, though, Is necessarily falling short of any duties, because from my external perception it was never a community focused project. For example, the core afaik (unless I&amp;#x27;m thinking of something different) is not &amp;quot;open contribution&amp;quot; at all.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been waiting for VCVRack 2 forever to get the VST support and invested a lot of money in the current VCVRack. Aria I wish you the best with you future &amp;#x2F; current endeavors and in something people will actually respect you. I really hope a good and fully open source alternative will come up soon.</text></comment>
