unless the new GUI would be decoupled from Pd (which is a bit of a muddy discussion), using a GPL GUI library would only be allowed
well, if the new gui follows the path of the old gui, then pd-gui and pd-core are two entirely different applications, communicating over a network socket. i don't think the GPL can do anything here (e.g. make all internet explorers grabbing pages from an apache2 server violate the GPL)
Well, if the protocol used for the communication is very application-specific this might not be entirely clear-cut. Afaik there's room for discussion, and license discussions are never much fun, so I actually wanted to avoid that.. perhaps I should've just kept my mouth shut :). Sorry :).
