Is Flext based externals, which need be GPL externals, violating the

violated when using the Flext based externals with Pd, then it makes
sense in my head to distinguish between binary and source wrt
violation against the GPL. But Flext might have a clause that catches
just that?To my mind, flext-based Max externals would only violate the GPL, if they were shipped closed-source with Max. If the are GPL'd as well and installed by the user, i don't see why this should be a problem.
although i don't really like this clause, the following description is quite clear: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLPluginsInNF

There's no such entity as "most people". These are generalities. All generalities are meaningless. You've got to pin it down to a specific person doing a specific thing at a specific time and space. William S. Burroughs
