An-anonymous-coder / Open-Source-Everything · GitLab
gitlab.comTL;DR: I accidentally deleted the old repository with 107 stars, and have moved the project to GitLab because GitHub requires a paid account to recover deleted repositories. I take full responsibility for this, it was an extremely stupid mistake on my part. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. I understand if this damages the trust in the project.
I appreciate all the support you all have given towards the project, it truly means a lot to me! For those of you who bookmarked the repo, please update it to the new GitLab page which will now be actively maintained.
If you don’t know what Open Source Everything is, see my original post. It’s my own curated list of open source software.
Update: GitHub was able to restore the repository! Special thanks to Seve from GitHub Support for bending the rules a bit. GitLab will still be the primary place where the repository is hosted.

I remember some panic after Audacity was sold, so it’s good again?
I’m going to mostly copy paste a similar reply I made in this thread: A fork of Audacity was made called Tenacity. They explain in their history why it was made. Yes, Audacity was bought by Muse Group. There were talks of adding trackers, but nothing ever actually got added. They changed the privacy policy at one point, but reverted it after backlash. The reason I am keeping Audacity there is because I believe it is better to have quick security/feature updates from upstream (Audacity) so long as the upstream project does not have any current code issues that warrant a fork (Tenacity). If Audacity ever does add any telemetry, etc. I will absolutely change it to Tenacity.
I will be creating an FAQ section that answers this question in more depth.
No, use Tenacity instead.
