Open source does not necessarily mean a GPL license. There are numerous licenses out there; I'm sure one of them would be compatible with the VST legalities.jtxx000 wrote:but output of the code isn't bound by the license, correct? people can still make commercial tracks using a GPL synth...

i was just thinking about this, it would probably be very hard because half of it's in assembler and the other half is most likely fairly low level (possibly even using goto'sflex42 wrote:Would anyone actually be able to "understand the code" and built on it?
If the documentation is in WK's head then good luck...

If he's any kind of coder he would have commented the code well, in anything other than small projects its suicide to NOT comment your code. I speak from experience here.flex42 wrote:Would anyone actually be able to "understand the code" and built on it?

If it went open source.. I might be tempted to have a dabble with the code.

If the code is not well documented and commented I'm guessing he's gonna have a big problem selling it either way. So for his sake I really hope it is.

If the code is completely undocumented then I'd say WK will have trouble selling his company at all to anyone at any price ...flex42 wrote:Would anyone actually be able to "understand the code" and built on it?
