From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The dev team changed. Audacity wasn't always maintianed by Musescore, it was its own thing.
They aren't responsible for what Audacity was or what it in essence is. They did not create the app nor maintain it for most of its existance. New management is only a few years old.
What new management is responsible for is the new features during their tenure, the redesign and turning Audacity into a shill for their online service.
There wouldn't be any under-new-management-Audacity without old Audacity just as Tenacity.
So saying something like what you did makes little sense and belittles Tenacity developers while raising new shills to the status of founding fathers.
I agree, I didn't know that.
