Point taken. This is equally true of Python, though, and it is likewise not clear to me whether a Python program written by me, linking to a binary library built with VST SDK 2.4 (distributed by a VST2-licensed developer), would be subject to their decrees. I mean, you are allowed to continue to publish programs made with 2.4, but the vstplugin~ extern is not a program. And Pd the program does not use the VST standard, only the program I would write with it.

Confusing.

according to LinkedIn Chuck Hubbard is director at the Canadian Pacific
Railway.

what is Pd "itself"?
wikipedia says it's a programming language, which is fair enough. but
you cannot *run* any code in a programming language.
for running code, you need an interpreter ("a runtime"), which is
provided by the eponymous *program*.
