Just thought I'd save you the trouble.

You can continue using older versions of Disk just like before, but future versions will require a subscription on GitRoyalty. If you feel this is wrong or doesn't work for you, you're welcome to create a fork and maintain your own version.

If you use Disk in your own framework, I suggest taking a look at this doc: https://gitroyalty.com/docs/faq/how-do-transitive-dependencies-work

Hi, sorry it wasn't totally clear that was what you were doing. Well, I wish you the best of luck with this. I have recently started a sponsor page on Github, so I definitely know how it goes! We'll certainly moved to the licensed version for the AudioKit synths that use Disk.

Hey thanks for understanding, and thanks for your work on AudioKit. Also Disk doesn’t use any commercial licensing, it just hides the Package.swift/.podspec behind a monthly subscription on GitRoyalty. So after subscribing you get access to a version of the repo with those files included. This way our licensing remains permissive and we can stay on GitHub, all while incentivizing people to fund Disk’s future development. Subscription earnings are distributed to all of Disk’s contributors instead of just me, which I think is a much more fair model than GitHub sponsors. I would love for you to try GitRoyalty out with your own projects, even with one of your less popular ones just to see how it works. In any case, keep being awesome and thank you for using Disk! 😄

Yeah, incentivizing collaborators is desirable for so many reasons. I'll give it a consideration for the next major revision of AudioKit.
