Research direction
Start with the RFC text and its linked FUTO and Ardour examples, then review the related issues #2166 and #2027. Done would require agreement on a payment model for maintained firmware and a concrete implementation plan; no files, tests, or code entry points are identified here.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Proven way forward is to make users pay for open source.
links recommended by @pietrushnic to change my free tier mindset; arriving to the point I cannot dismiss/deny/live in another multiverse.
Against/amends #2166 #2027 if not probable (not usage of word probable, proven in history and posterity see https://opencollective.com/insurgo/transactions
