Alright guys,
what the f..k is going on here? This may sound stupid, but I just came back from holiday, and it's really frsutating to find such a thread on the pd mailing list ... I think that maxlib is still a valuable asset for pd, and scaring olaf away like yves did is just bad style. purde data itself is possibly as free as anything can be, so if anyone is making a living out of patching or hacking weird stuff for or with it, that's perfectly fine with me. I have the choice to use this stuff or not, depending on my personal reasons to use it or not, whatever they may be. As of yet, I'm not using pdp (altough I would like to use it) because I didn't yet figure out how to get my midi controller to work with linux. There was at least one discussion on the gem-dev list I remember that had the same rude tone as this thread. pd is also the result of a collaborative work of not-so-many indivuduals, and scaring away any of them for merely ideological reasons (sorry yves) does more harm to the idea of free software than ten incarnations of Bill Gates himself ever could.
Hey, let's be nice together, okay?
