Maybe you have not heard about the changes in audacity? It now collects and shares our data. Even though it is used almost entirely offline, requires no connection for actual users working at home. Audacity is now at least non-free in the GNU/Linux sense of the term.
If I remember what I heard about this (quite some time ago), tracking was included only in some precompiled versions (possibly not even Linux versions) on the upstream website—if you build your own copy from source, it should still be clean.
Scratch this. I was confusing it with another piece of software. Versions of Audacity from 3.0 do contain some dubious components. Curiously enough, Gentoo is frozen on 2.4.2.
