Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
I am bummed that we have to even discuss Apple's anti-free-software tactics in relation to the design of Pd. The only reason why you can't include externals as libdirs on the official iPhone is because of Apple's ridiculous restrictions that are in place solely for the purpose of making the Apple iTunes Store a monopoly.
The decision, not to bundle the 102MB of externals currently in pd-extended into RjDj has *absolutely nothing* to do with Apple's license policy or any other licence issues: It's a technical decision made by the RjDj team. By keeping RjDj's number of objects limited we aim to avoid a maintainance nightmare and provide everyone with that least common denominator: Pd vanilla and a small number of selected externals. This will be the same for future ports to other platforms.
And personally I made a very similar decision by avoiding to use too many externals on my GNU/Linux machine.
