There are dozens of free audio plugins available on the net, so why aren’t screen capturing/recording vendors offering the ability for the end user to add them?

I have seen continued interest and downloads for open source AR tool kits. GestureTek develops motion control for tablets, e-readers, smartphones and televisions.

The A/V is Clam (open source) but still solid. .

True, people are selecting open source systems, and for the majority of them, it is Moodle. Yet, many vendors are doing exactly that. Here is the thing, what these vendors fail to understand is these markets are selecting open source solutions, often for the following. A huge problem in the space.
