The first goal is hidden behind a "More info" button:
> We would provide all of the source code for GoldWave Infinity under an open source license (GPL or MIT). To do that, we would need to raise two million dollars.
- EMIRELADERO 4y agoExcuse me? Jesus christ. Not to be offensive towards this software and the creators, as it seems they enjoy a great following dating back to decades, but still, jesus christ.
- croes 4y agoThe two millions are actually for Acquire the source code and intellectual property from the Windows version of GoldWave. Bring the functionality from the Windows version into GoldWave Infinity. Provide dedicated development of GoldWave Infinity for at least 5 years. Provide continued hosting and networking infrastructure. Provide developer and customer support. Further develop HUI, a new cross-platform HTML based C++ graphical user interface library.
- EMIRELADERO 4y agoI guess it would be better if the source code release alone wouldn't take two million.
- egeozcan 4y agoDo you mean it's too much? I'd be expecting WAY more money required to open-source an established project. 2m could be suitable for starting up a new project with many unknowns.
- ideasman42 4y agoSeems like too much, while the value could be justified... I don't think it's it's likely to succeed which is unfortunate. OTOH, would be happy to be proven wrong.
- sudosysgen 4y agoSeems like a bargain to me, actually.
