..fair enough, and thanks for pushing me to check out the fork talk,
it appears the majority of Audacity developers (or "Contributors" as
Github prefers to call them) still disagrees with you:
https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity/graphs/contributors 184
https://github.com/SartoxOnlyGNU/audacium/graphs/contributors 143
https://github.com/AudioCity-Studio/AudioCity/graphs/contributors 139

..how many of the 136 stayed behind with the Muse Group?:

..no shit! So, does the Muse Group still believe they can
distribute Audacity under the GPLv2? ;o)

..thanks to Tim for pushing me to investigate that story, Jim did
indeed say that, initially. And wise people update as they learn
more...

..and there's even more:

..it's like Github's next owner making you pay to see source code.
Sheet music is effectively the source code of music, and that
analogy has been used to explain source code as a concept to the
general public, to legislators and to jurors and judges in courts.
