No.
Frank explained to me that Pd-extended is under GPL. I have to go back and revise the package I created, if only to add the Berkley license info. I'm pretty sure I didn't actually use the executable that was with Pd-extended.
So if version 0.5 is available under BSD license, and the author later decides to go GPL, could they replace vs 0.5 on sourceforge with an exact copy except with a different license.txt? And if someone then downloaded that same software, aware that it was BSD, and violated GPL thinking it was still BSD... A moot point anyway. I swear I looked once and saw GPL for Pd, but I guess it was Pd-extended. Suffice to say Csound is LGPL and AFAIK completely open.
