Nope. It's just how the GPL works. In the same way that the GPL was created to fight back against copyright holders and proprietors, those same people can also fight back to gain control of a GPL project. Muse Group owns 90% of Audacity's code now, and they've introduced a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) that ensures that anybody who wants to contribute to Audacity's codebase relinquishes their right to any of the code, therefore perpetuating Muse Group's right to it: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/932

  Discontinued Tenacity is an easy-to-use, cross-platform multi-track audio editor/recorder for Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems and is developed by a group of volunteers as an open source software that respects user privacy. [Moved to: https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity] (by cookiengineer)

  

My fork is located at https://github.com/cookiengineer/audacity - but I'd love to see this project being governed not by a single person that could potentially force tracking mechanisms upon others (including me). Personally I see these changes as a GPL2 violation, as PG-13 rating is not GPL-compatible, but I wanted to also state that the codebase seemed to make the impression to always be able to opt-in those features at compile time; so maintainers of Linux distributions could at least disable it.

• autowaf

  1 3 0.0 Python

  A directly includable extension of the waf build system

Those seem to be a tool (https://github.com/drobilla/autowaf) that the author of LV2 (David Robillard, unrelated to Audacity) uses manage the library. That particular part seems to be triggered after a release is tagged on GitLab; doing whatever typical things that he wants to happen when a new version is released. But those things only need to be done by the lv2 maintainer. I don't expect an Audacity build to be running those scripts and probably trying to do so wouldn't work.
