that reminds me of a question i wanted to ask for a long time.

I think, things like pdmtl, netpd or mMm already are one level higher than what I thought a dsp/tilde collection aims for. For example on that wiki page you see, that a several of the patches are based on other people's patches: For example you can find some abstractions Andy posted here in it, and they are used in mMm as well. As another example I also found some of my abstractions posted to the list in mMm.
sometimes people send patches to pd-list without license comment.
the question is: can i use the patches and publish it again under gnu/lgpl ?
unfortunately i don't remember all sources. after seeing movie from google/talks, which Kyle posted, i want to mention all the authors in a central place and not in the patch itself. maybe in readme.txt
what do you think?
Andy, Frank, Matt (and all i forgot right now): is it ok with you when i use some of your patches and mention: which patches i use and where they are in a list in readme.txt and not in the patch itself?
i want respect all authors and respect their wish.
i have used Franks list-abs a lot but i can't use it as abstraction in netpd since 1) list-abs is no dependency of plain netpd. 2) list-abs of corse come without version tags, then they would be treated as if they had a [version 0.0.0( tag. but if a bug gets fixed this abstraction wouldn't get updated in netpd. don't see an other way than adapt it and use it in a subpatch.
