"Unix-like"
What is the problem with "Unix-like"? Darrien 15:43, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * It's developed for Linux, not for any other platform. That it happens to run on FreeBSD is nice, but that doesn't make it a FreeBSD app any more than being able to run MS Office under WINE makes Office a Linux app.


 * Why are you so eager to cleanse mention of Linux even when the app is specifically developed for Linux as per the project web page (e.g. Rosegarden, Asterisk)? I understand and agree with removing gratuitous Linuxisms, but when it's the actual targeted platform, cleansing all mention is just POV-pushing anti-advocacy - David Gerard 15:49, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Is Wavosaur free?
In wavosaur webpage (http://www.wavosaur.com/) stated that "Wavosaur is a free sound editor..." . But in this article table it attributed to not free software. Is it because of different definition of free software? Zomby5178 (talk) 17:27, 2 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. There is no mention to free software licenses or copyright permissions on that web page. Unfortunately, "freedom" is an ambiguous word; but in the software world the term free software is usually meant to evoke freedom, not price. In practice free software is almost equivalent to open-source software; and if you're wondering whether there is a word for zero-price software you should look for freeware, (which sounds different, but is still misleading, because it's just a portmanteau of "free" and "software", and it looses the soft- particle).


 * Many other movements have found inspiration in free software philosophy, extending the libertarian sense of "free" to advocate against copyright restrictions, as Wikipedia does. See free content and Free_culture_movement. To avoid confusion, some people interchange "free" with "libre", a word found in many Latin-based languages that translates as "free as in liberty", but not as "free as in free sandwiches"


 * In a nutshell, it's very likely Wavosaur is freeware, and isn't free software --Isacdaavid (talk) 17:32, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Audio editing software → Audio editor – The title is more concise. 192.107.120.90 (talk) 15:07, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 16:34, 27 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - the target currently redirects to Audio engineer, and seems possible that an "editor" may be a person rather than a software. Needs discussion. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 16:34, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

 * This article is missing lots of history and can be improved in citations within the limitations section as there are little. --Adoobs (talk) 19:12, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
