+1 for including the line about military use in pd's license. That will make us all happy. And the military then has to use maxmsp.

Though, I assume it means military institutions and not my own militant guerilla art.

But, we could also conclude that war/military is commercial, at least in the sense that war is waged for profit, and thus GPL should do....

Hey Lluis and Yves,

I see that puredyne has packaged pidip, so it should be pretty easy to get it into Debian. The only problem is the license. If it was a straight BSD or GPL license, then it would be fine. The problem is this line:

NOT FOR MILITARY OR REPRESSIVE USE !!!

That isn't free according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
