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.
