Unfortunately, the whole point of the video falls short because Audacity has neither telemetry nor age restriction. You can look that up. They abandoned telemetry plans back in May, they revised privacy policy in July. All you get is an update checker which is a standard feature these days and can be easily disabled, and a crash reporter which you don't even have to use.
You are also looking at collective number of contributors for both Audacity and Audacium/Tenacity, because, you know, that's how git forks work: people who did the work before the fork also get the credit. Like, as a former Audacity contributor, I'm right there in the list of Tenacity contributors although I never contributed to Tenacity directly :)

Well, if we saw any development, we could embrace any of these projects. I think the name is the problem here, people don't know what to search for. The Audacity was pretty stable at the moment of taking over so there's not much to work in forks. But new features would be great. I look forward to seeing some development, if the teams need some ideas, we all content creators would gladly help! I can't code, but I know what I wish in audio editing.

Found interesting differences from the AUR -git packages:
1. Audacium:
- in conflict with package audacity and gives executable audacity
- a gtk2 application
2. Tenacity:
- does not conflict with audacity package and gives executable tenacity
- a gtk3 application
The functionality of both apps should be the same, but these technical differences may play a role in deciding which one to keep too.

I thought I would start using audor after I heard about this, but after trying audor I missed the easiness. It would be cool if audor was more intuitive to get started with; it needs a simple mode upfront where you can evolve into its more advanced feature upon needing them.

How is it even possible to -buy- and -take over- a free & open-source project, without asking all the code contributors and users for permission first?
And how can we make sure that such things won't happen in the future with other free & open source projects?

Ye ye added telemetry by 'mistake' and stuff, right... They're not sorry they did it, they're sorry they got 'caught' / people realized it. I'm not buying that 'by accident' part for a second.

You spew out nonsense here about Audacity. It is still open source, no mean, dark telemetry and no age restrictions. You should do a bit more research before you spread FUD. Unsubbed.

I don't care that much about the age issue as long as Audacity continues to be developed under an Open Source license. If Windows or macOS were such that would a game changer.

Telemetry does not go against free and open source ideology. Audacity is still an open source project. As much as I hate telemetry, you're just spreading false information.
