GPL and LGPL licenses don't conflict with SIBSD. SIBSD is the version of the BSD license that Pd uses and that most people mean when they say « BSD license » nowadays. It resulted from the idea of Richard Stallman to get everybody on the BSD license to drop the Advertisement Clause, which was not only conflicting with the GPL, but also with customised versions of the BSD license... It's a long story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license http://www.fsf.org/licensing/compliance/index_html/contact/education/essays/index_html/bsd.html IanaL. PS: Apparently, « Standard Improved BSD » is an expression that is only used in the Pd world. I thought I had originally read that name from the FSF site, but apparently, I didn't. Apparently, there is no standard name for that license, but that name is the one that Miller used in LICENSE.txt. _ _ __ ___ _ _ _ ... | Mathieu Bouchard, Montréal, Québec. téléphone: +1.514.383.3801___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
