Why doesn’t LibreCMC use GitHub? Because GitHub itself has its own problems of not being libre-friendly.

So, there is an interesting alternative to use in place of GitHub.
notabug.org provides free hosting using the gogs Git server
solution.

But this is the most interesting. Who is gogs developed by? This
community that calls itself “peers” and has existed for at least since
the Dragora GNU/Linux distribution was developed.

Freedom-delayed? Are there any projects I know in there.

Ah, yes! There is. ZynAddSubFx, but of course I know there is that Yoshimi fork. What’s going on here? For the course of modernizing the user interface, the developer. Come on! What’s wrong with the existing user interface? Yes it may look “dated” on Windows and MacOS platforms, but I think it looks just fine on a GNU/Linux digital audio workstation. Sure some of the user interfaces are going to look dated or obscure, but that is just the way things are expected to be by the target users.
Now, this effort to turn the code proprietary for this modernization move, for sure I think most community members will agree that is a totally unwanted move, not to mention that the whole intent of the project, modernizing the user interface, is unwanted by the existing user community from the get-go. If we want something better in that regards, we go to Yoshimi, not one of the original developers who wants to make it proprietary.

So where is Yoshimi on development? Ah, development is still fairly active.

Well, that’s too bad that ZynAddSubFx has fallen down the path wrongly taken, slipping away from the desires of the community but coming closer to the desires of one of the individual users. Normally this would be considered a good thing in the libre software world, but the fact that this single individual is intent on making money from selling it? Well, that’s perverse considering the rejection by the community, hence the lack of a real “customer base.”
