inal, but i sincerely hope that this is a violation of the GPL. (though i'm afraid that this is a bit fuzzy, and there might be some loopholes or even larger holes to allow this).
ah, here is a reference: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL
which states very clearly, that the license of the interpreter (in our case: Pd's BSD license) has no effect on the license of the programs (your patch). however, if your interpreted program (patch) uses bindings to other facilities (an external) covered by the GPL, then your program must be released in a GPL-compatible way.
