# On by default telemetry
On by default telemetry is being introduced to Audacity. This
does not
comply with the No Malware section of the FSDG.
<https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html>
Will be possible to disable Audacity telemetry in our official
Guix
package definition using a build flag or a patch?
AFAIK the answer is yes, this means Audacity Guix package can
(easily)
be "transformed" to be FSDG compliant when (if?) telemetry will
be set
opt-out upstream; if the answer will be no, we should remove the
next
Audacity-with-undisableable-telemetry version.
For reference, that’s what we do for Ardour, which has a benign
up-to-date? check that is enabled by default and that we remove in
a patch. Oddly enough there was no big discussion about any of
this, perhaps because disabling features like that is pretty
common and has been done for decades in Debian.
