It's definitely concerning to see Audacity being sold, especially considering the principles of open-source freedom. The fear of spyware being introduced in the upcoming version 3.0.3 is valid and highlights the importance of preserving open-source integrity. Websites like digitalinvestigation.com might shed more light on these issues and help users stay informed about the implications of such changes. Maintaining the ethos of open-source software is crucial for ensuring transparency and trust within the community.
