The image of Cakewalk 5.0 for DOS was uploaded to Commons with a Creative Commons license as file:Cakewalk 5 DOS.png. As a copyrighted computer program, it is not (in my understanding) legal to license screenshots under a Free license, so I nominated it for speedy deletion there as a copyright violation.
I have uploaded a copy of the screenshot locally as File:Cakewalk 5 DOS fair use.png and licensed it as a fair use screenshot (legally permissible if used in accordance with the non free content criteria (which I believe its use here is).
If the Commons file is found not to be a copyright violation then that image should be used in this article and the local fair use version deleted. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:12, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
I propose that this page be reserved (reverted if possible) for its original use, to provide a historical description of pre-Sonar Cakewalk, rather than trying to include detailed information about the new Cakewalk by BandLab (except of course a reference to any new page if and when it is created).
There were edits that were apparently made around the time of the BandLab IP acquisition when there was perhaps little or conflicting information to go on. I've been doing my best to correct them.
For parties enthused about telling the story, Cakewalk by BandLab seems like a great subject for its own page now that it has been around for a year and correct information is plentiful. The page for Sonar was one of the worst I've ever seen for a consumer software product, especially one with a 30-year history, and it can doubtlessly be improved upon with a little effort.
There is no need to clutter this historical page with ongoing descriptions of a new program that is in active development decades after the original Cakewalk (as described here) changed its name to Sonar.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
While historically significant, I don't believe that the Twelve Tone Systems Cakewalk sequencer warrants its own article, rather it should be properly listed as the first product made by Twelve Tone/Cakewalk Inc. in the Cakewalk (company) article. There is now an article on its namesake, the current Cakewalk by BandLab. Merging and redirecting should result in briefer and more pertinent search results. -- Cruciblefuzz ( talk) 10:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
