That has to be a GPL violation.

On the other hand:

* proprietary Pd binary

* place for user to enter url of remote repository of packages

* Deken exists

This can't possibly be a GPL violation.

I'm not advocating for building proprietary binaries, but this is such a

trivial workaround it'd be silly not to mention it.
