Apparently Audacity has been bougth by a company which subsequently did crap with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/s9isqj/help_tenacity_a_fork_of_audacity_after_its/

Not sure how good Tenacity currently is

    the trademark got bought. it's still FLOSS, and they pledged to keep it that way, for whatever that's worth. code can't be retroactively un-gpled, so if they did decide to close it down they couldn't just take it offline, only do new development in private. the big fishy thing was that they added a CLA to their repo, which only affects developers. as an end-user you're fine.

    also, the "crap" was a draft proposal of opt-in telemetry, which was subsequently scrapped. the company in question is based in the EU, anyway, so they would have to abide by the gdpr for any collected information.

    the hackaday series on this is probably the best summary.
