If we build audacity, the data collection features are not enabled, so this does not apply. Which of the patches that are applied to the audacity package takes care of that?
They collect the IP addresses of crash reports. Do you have an idea what all the other open source projects collect about your crash reports? I guess not, because there is no reddit thread about their policies.
If you want to be "safe", disable the crash report feature from audacity, but then the chances of getting crashes fixed is removed too.
Greetings, Stephan
The whole thing is making bigger waves now. Also, they are not only collecting your IP address: 'The data collected includes OS version and name, user country based on IP address, the CPU being used, data related to Audacity error codes and crash reports, and finally "Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities' requests (if any)."' Source: https://www.pcmag.com/news/audacity-is-being-called-spyware-after-privacy-po... "Data necessary for law enforcement" - that could mean name AND CONTENT of every audio file being worked on - it could be illegally copied intellectual property after all. And you still have not pointed out where exactly we make sure that the spyware parts are not compiled into the suse packages..
