Yes, the old csound license was a source of pain and agnst for sure. I just

meant to point out that LGPL was chosen specifically so that the engine &

new API could be used in commercial products, and I think that has been a

really good move. I'm sure that the csound~ object for Max resulted in a

lot of interest, and I expect Csound For Live to do the same.
