Based on these announcements Audacity is now part of Muse Group. May 3 2021 this announcement was made on Audacity's website April 30 2021 this announcement was made by the new lead of audacity: Invidious link YouTube link # Controversial Changes to Audacity Muse Group has made several controversial changes to Audacity. Three controversial changes were: * The introduction of telemetry * The introduction of a contributor license agreement * A new privacy policy The introduction of telemetry has been discussed here . # Audacity Forks The controversial changes to Audacity by Muse Group has motivated several Audacity forks. One example of a fork is . That fork gives this rational for it's existence . Which includes some of the links in the to the Controversial Changes to Audacity section above. It is probably to early to tell which if any of the Audacity forks are going to be maintained over an extended period of time. # Guix and Audacity Guix packages the 2.4.2 version of Audacity. Looking at /gnu/packages/audio.scm the source code repository Guix uses for audacity is which is now controlled by Muse Group. Based on Audacity release information version 2.4.2 was released on 26 June 2020. This is before Muse Group acquired administrative control of Audacity some time between April 30 2021 and May 3 2021. So no action is currently required by Guix in regards to it's Audacity package. The most current version of Audacity before Muse Group acquired administrative control of Audacity was version 3.0.2 which released on 19 April 2021. Before the next update of the version of Audacity that Guix packages it would probably be a good idea to reassess the situation with Muse Group's Audacity and the Audacity forks.
