I don't think it matters at all and would like to refrain from getting into a list argument about the pluses and minuses of all the licenses used by Pd and its externals. Pd Vanilla is 3-clause BSD, and according to IOhannes so is the stuff on the patch tracker. That gives plenty of room for someone like Marvin to develop solely using the 3-clause BSD license. I would only say that the valid constraint of using only one free license shouldn't add a constant burden to other developers who are fine with the many free licenses that exist in Pd and its external libraries. -Jonathan > > .hc > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido! > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev > _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
