None of the following links is new, but it's useful to remember how Gibson Guitar Corporation has managed such
projects in the past. See the following:
Somewhere on the Harmony Central
website are some sobering remarks on Gibson's rebranding of third-party
products as Opcode. I can't
find the links at the moment, but the bottom line is that the goodwill
associated with Opcode
trademark has been squandered; one hopes that the same fate will not befall
Gibson's efforts with the Magic platform.

If only they had open-sourced Opcode's software!
