You should read the comments under it."Several backers have suggested that we open-source the code for Loom and Anyma Omega so that the community can continue working on them. Unfortunately, this is not possible because the code is part of the company's assets, which we needed to preserve in case of a potential takeover, and which we cannot legally transfer since the safeguard procedure because it could help repay creditors during liquidation.
If a buyer acquires these projects, they will decide whether to open-source the code or continue development under different terms." ~ from the Kickstarter link above
I can't help but feel that the company has hid a little too much behind what it might see as 'economic necessity', rather than be more 'freewheeling' and doing what's right, rather than sucking up to 'The Machine'.
Ya right sure..."...the code is part of the company's assets, which we needed to preserve in case of a potential takeover..."
Looks like yet another 'dream' synth is going to die and take its code-- that, itself, used free/open source code!-- with it forever, like what happens to a dream when you wake up.
Thanks a lot, devs.
