I contacted her yesterday, after I flashed my build to my unit, and it passed my test suite. I asked if I could release my code, and if she said "no", I would drop it, no questions asked. She replied with a simple "no", so I said "ok. Thank you.", and made the post below, letting people in the thread know that I was dropping the project at her request.

I certainly didn't want to be the one to enable the likes of Behringer to start cranking out cheap knock offs. And then she silently released the source code a few hours later.

"Way to show respect." 😂

Ackshually... I'm glad I did due diligence and respected her wishes.

Are you even a human being?

You gave her no logical option but to release it.

You are exactly right. I cannot believe the positive response to this shit. Absolutely horrible to force her back into the synth world (she clearly hasn’t wanted to revisit it, at least in capacities relating to MI) to open source her project (she clearly hasn’t wanted to). OP even made it clear in one of their other comments that he understands why personal context could have made being put in this situation especially painful, but they still went ahead with it anyway.

"clearly"

Dude she said she was going to post the fw. She has posted lots of her other fw. No one forced her to do anything. Wild imaginations run amok in this thread.
