Will Aqua LinQ be Roon Ready? [no]

Yes, they are. We define the program rules because it is our program. Is that so hard to understand? You are distributing our code, our property. It makes total sense we get set the rules by which that code is distributed.

NOT AT ALL. In the beginning, everyone obeyed the rules. No one released uncertified product. Only as we got far more popular did we find manufacturers who took our rules less seriously. No longer is that possible. Sept 21 fixed that.

Thank you. Please do not distribute any of our code. RoonBridge, RAAT SDK, etc…

You got this wrong.

There’s so much great hardware to choose from, so many DACs and streamers and what not… Software? Not so much. I haven’t found anything that could compete with Roon. Digital music distribution and streaming are clearly software-centric and if as to yet so few companies have committed themselves to developing hardware- and operating system-independent integrative solutions, it seems that the entry barrier is fairly high…

Absolutely. Our thinking is that it makes no sense to follow the new bureaucratic and static path that Roon has taken. Thanks for the attention and good luck.

Good luck to you too! If you do change your mind, we can revisit this with zero animosity or ego.

Of course! Our T&Cs have always stated this, as @ged_hickman1 noted above.

@rob also made this clear to you just a few weeks ago on the 15th of September. You responded asking where this is officially stated and he gave you a link to the above-mentioned T&Cs.
