well, its still free! At least for all linux users (just look in the synaptic and install it..).... and yes, for mac you have to pay, but its not much and also, as a mac user, you already decided to pay for a proprietary system, why not also spend some money to the open source world? :) cheers, kris

When you go to the download section you can choose if you want to pay or not. Paul Davis is asking you to at least to pay 1$, if you can't afford more than that, but, you don't need to pay anything in order to download the software.
Ardour has a model for financing the development, and it seems to be working out for them. I'm happy to see Ardour 3 coming out which will have midi support.
Ardour is open source, which means anyone can add to it or fork it and start making their own version of it.
Most of the licenses are either GPL or LGPL, anyway.
