> There is no good reason to put any form of telemetry in a non commercial open source project, ever. It is just user hostile behavior. So tell me, why do people use telemetry at all? Why would it only be beneficial for commercial projects? That doesn't make any sense. I'm in the process of building an audio application myself. One of the things I worry about the most, when dealing with complex end-user software, is how do I as the developer discover bugs and issues my users are experiencing. Only a tiny fraction of users go our of their way to submit a bug report, let alone do it properly so that it's of any use to me. Good telemetry is key to improving my user's experience, and I'm putting a lot of effort into getting that stuff right.
