So, what is the right approach? Just repackage or try the official way
by asking Native Instruments and risk a refusal...?
Any thoughts yet?
Here are mine:
Simply repackaging with a vector version of the icon to be offered
through HaikuDepot would surely be nice and easy.
Nonetheless, I'm for contacting Native Instruments about the issue. At
worst they say "Njet" and we continue having the zip archive for
download at BeBytes and other sites on the net. Contacting NI has
other potential gains:
1. It's the official, totally legal way, obviously.
2. We bring Haiku back on the radar of NI. Probably not much, but who
knows what might give Haiku additional boost.
3. NI might agree to re-compile SyncModular to "hardcode" the free
license unlock, which otherwise unconveniences the user every now and
then by having to re-register with the free code.
4. NI might even fix some visual annoyances, like the drawing error of
the connecting lines (see [1]), the overly large black Ensemble window
on launch, or some layouting issues of cut off buttons etc.
5. If NI don't want to do that work (very understandable), maybe they
agree to have one of us do these minor fixes (under NDA).

Did you know:
If half the Haiku supporters at

made 10 searches a day, we could have a fulltime developer.
