Well, if the protocol used for the communication is very application-specific this might not be entirely clear-cut.
sorry to continue on the "license" issue, but i don't think that we are in flamewar hell at all (yet :-))
anyhow: it's true that the communication between pd-core and pd-gui is "application specific". however, this only means that we are on OSI-layer 7 (application (sic!) layer). other protocols on this layer include HTTP, SMTP or CIFS.
all these protocols allow interaction between proprietary and GPL'ed code. i especially mention CIFS as this was really made for a proprietary OS, and still there are GPL implementations using it.

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 :).
