Perhaps you are right, I could be remembering it wrong (but really I don’t feel like wading through that comment-section), the telemetry was just the tip of the iceberg for me, violating GPL licence and things like using google and yandex are among many reasons I just don’t trust them with my music.
the google and yandex thing is the telemetry thing, and i talk about the privacy policy (the GPL thing you mention) below. what are the other reasons? all i see is the CLA thing which is very very legit, but again all of these things are from four or five years ago, and we can always riot when they do turn it proprietary.
it was always opt-in.

people highlight the opt-in dialog text: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#discussion_r627756976
there are no commits in between; it could not have been changed to opt-in “when people found out” as you claim.
