we probably should not go that far into details, and certainly not declare open wars. please, please, take it a little bit more easy.

Please note that PiDiP is legally muddy. At best, it's non-free software, and at worst, it's illegal to distribute it.
This is because it has two licences and no mention that the user can pick either, so by default all licenses must apply at once, and because those two licenses are conflicting. It's licensed under both the GPL and a modified SIBSD license. Normally, GPL and SIBSD are compatible, but the extra PiDiP-specific clause is conflicting with the GPL.
The PiDiP-specific clause is also conflicting with the FSD (Free Software Definition) and the OSD (Open-Source Definition): this is what is prompting Hans to remove PiDiP from the pd-extended installers.
