Anyone know what the license is of the OSCx code in CVS is? On the files themselves, the license is a non-free license. So unless its been released under a different license also, it shouldn't be in SourceForge CVS and it can't be distributed with the Pd installers or in Debian. (This isn't a political issue, its a legal issue. UC Berkeley could sue SourceForge, guenter, or me, for example, for violating their license).
This is from the top of externals/OSCx/src/dumpOSC.c:
"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its documentation for educational, research, and not-for-profit purposes, without fee and without a signed licensing agreement, is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice, this paragraph and the following two paragraphs appear in all copies, modifications, and distributions.
