Max has always offered the possibility of downloading "free" but a 30-day license, which is that crack, I think it means little, it's like when windows 7 is "liberated", we humbly think we use pd for two reasons: the potential and an ethical issue, it would be a bad move  create or teaching  max and then forcing us or our students to pay a license ... I do not think that means a lot, I teach in universities pd, other professors teach max and is a real pain in the head, max in my experience only works well in osx again making it proprietary.
I preferred pd as mentioned, plus the community is worth more than $ 700, is something that commercial software can never have.

I've never really used Max, so doesn't mean much to me.  Whatever floats their boat :).  I don't really see it as a competition.

But yes, there has always been the free runtime.

I have heard rumors from various sources that Cycling 74 may change the pricing scheme of Max to include a limited version for free. If true, what does this mean for Pd?
