So we now have two non-free libraries included in the pure-data SVN: pidip and unauthorized. As far as I understand it, this is in violation of what SourceForge asks of projects, and also seems to me in violation of the developers on the pure-data SourceForge, since the rest of the code there uses free licenses (mostly GPL, BSD-like, and Tcl-like).
So the question is: should we remove pidip and unauthorized from the pure-data SVN?

are there any problems already? are we talking about bullying and bashing on the sole grounds of "as far as i understand"?
first, i would leave all code within the repository, until someone who has a claim complains.
after that, the first code i would want to remove is all the unrelated code in /vendor and /source.

What happens if it stays where it is? Does Sourceforge complain? Debian? Will it be detrimental to people's projects that use Pd? Will it impede Pd's development?
