Muse Group's audio editor (3.7.8 on 2026-08-24). GitHub LICENSE.txt: the app is GPLv3; many files are GPLv2-or-later; docs are CC-BY 3.0. FAQ: it "will always remain free". Windows/macOS installers push MuseHub; "Download without MuseHub" links exist. This catalog already prefers Tenacity for the telemetry/terms fork. Use Audacity if you need the Muse build. GPL covers the program. Edits inherit the source clip's license.

License evidence is GitHub LICENSE.txt, not the marketing homepage (homepage is MuseHub download copy)
FAQ (2026-08-24) answers "Is Audacity free?" with "always remain free for everyone". That is price, not a second asset license
Extra MuseHub / cloud-saving terms were not fetched as a separate legal PDF on 2026-08-24. If you sign into Muse services, read those
Checklist: GPL text on GitHub, commercial use of the program under GPL, docs CC-BY, MuseHub is a storefront not an asset EULA, named company, not blocklisted, tool vs recording ownership split
Version left as bare GPL-3.0 deliberately. The project says "licensed GPLv3" while noting most files are GPLv2-or-later, and VST3-related code constrains the combined work, so no single SPDX identifier is stated. Checked 2026-09-22.
