Yeah, except the licensing is much more restrictive than Plasq's is for Wormhole: you pay per machine its used on.
In a way, I'm lucky, after having the demo sitting around for a couple of years, I finally tried out Wormhole a few of months ago because late last year I finally got myself a Mac, but have just a few Win only plugins I want to use. So I demoed Wormhole and bought it the same evening. Maybe one of the last purchasers?
Funnily enough, I'm also a software developer, and I thought Plasq might be a cool group to work with. And then about a month ago I was made redundant, and I vaguely though about contacting Plasq cold to offer my services.  Maybe it would have given them someone to work on the audio stuff. But I've got another job now, so this is all just speculative.
I'd support the call for making it open source, rather than just disappear (hey, I'm almost tempted to ask for the source so I could support myself, at least  ). While I don't know much about Rax, I think of the commercial vendors Wormhole is a good fit for the folks at Plogue. They're multi-platform audio developers, and their product Bidule already covers MIDI over a network (via the OSC protocol). It was the fact that they don't yet have network audio that made me look at Wormhole again.
