Can you clarify what features did the new NWS add that old NWS was refusing to add? That seems like the crux of the entire tiff, and without that knowledge it's very difficult to discern which side is more reasonable. Edit: Honestly, some of the initial commits to the new repository are more in line with Liles' account: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commits/master?after=86cd1489bf962bdd4b0fd175a564270a1c5271da+139&branch=master https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commits/mas... Starting in April 2020, changes include: - Dumping the timeline, sequencer, and mixer: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/80e9f4bd0931a2989c1e303dc830c742fe1da315 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/80e9... - Removing any thing with logos or icons, e.g., "filing the serial number off": https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/7992fec7a1d9b323b3e70680a06380ce5e30a590 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/7992... - Enable debug mode / verbose mode by default: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/397572308a3c2b23f9bd1e5f2a3ab666e5f0d877 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/3975... - Change project build system over to meson: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/e431cd55aec9e3e522849ae81dd013bc82aa3d87 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/e431... (plus others) - Update build system to exclude current GUI / make it optional: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/63e6f0eac3ba4c72168e14fecf1715d0475113dc https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/63e6... - Set up symlinking by default in install: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/3681fa63e8557a24c063fe7ebaae041603a003ed https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/3681... - Force the project onto GPL3, more serial numbers filing: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/2731c9d0d170a3296fe43ae4cb0bde81e4419f56 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/2731... After that is a number of fixes. Unfortuantely, from this list of "immediate" changes, it reads like the Argodejo developers decided they would be the preferred GUI, and decided to fork the project to abandon the current GUI. The README was even modified to this end: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/7f237fe5d5c21ee9cfe3ebddf908c3464ab3a781 https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/commit/7f23... They also forced the project onto a different build system, and made new (and possibly incorrect) assumptions about installation. If the fixes came first (build fixes, etc.) and the other work came later, I would have a more-charitable view of this fork. Unfortunately, the immediate changelog sort of speaks for itself: they forked NSM, filed off all the names, changed over the licensing and build system, and ripped out the GUI. Then, a few months later, they actually started fixing bugs. The motivation here really seems to be subsuming ownership and default UI. This really just looks like a classic internet slap fight. Of course, this is only conjecture from the git commit history, but... it's supported by the git commit history.
