[PD] pd-extended licensing policy

2008-04-15 Thread marius schebella
hi,
another thing that I ran into, and that I don't really like (but maybe I 
am to evil, or I have a wrong understanding of the gpl...) is the fact 
that pd-extended has a more restrictive licence policy than pd itself, 
which is probably due to the licence policy of some of the  externals.
it is the question of how to develop patches for corporate clients, who 
do not want to publish their application code. I am not sure if this is 
ok (to keep your patches disclosed) and I think I could not use 
pd-extended for such situations.

GPL is the only license that can be used for Pd-extended since the  
code in it is a mix of GPL and BSD-style.

GPL doesn't require you to publish any code.  It requires to you to  
give the code to anyone who you give binaries too.  If you don't give  
binaries to anyone, you don't have to give them code.
