Audacity Forum

Hi to who ever. There is a person selling a "boxed version" of Audacity on Trademe NZ. I lodged a complaint with Trademe 6 times and they just ignored it. This turkey has the "2008 version". ( I understood that the version is catagorised by version eg 1,2, 1.3.1 eg.). If you go to Trademe and look at auction number 186655935.

Can someone please do something about this. I use Audacity, got it for free, very happy with it , but please do not let selfish people destroy, through greed , that which has been offered for free.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

actually the Audacity folks do allow people to "sell" audacity - but the vendors have to abide by the licensing terms and restrictions, see this page in the Wiki: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... ityVendors

Though having said that, there are many "vendors" out there who are straight scalpers who add no value - ang idnore the licensing restrictions ....

Yes, you do need to be careful about that. Nowhere is it written in the General Public License that you can't sell Audacity or any other GPL program. There are minimum standards of conduct and you're on your way.

GPL was intentionally written to support that in order to boost programming quality and variety. The down side is people "ripping off" the product. It's not like everybody else is immune to that.
