Update: Shahrokh just wrote me that he has asked IRCAM if they would be okay with releasing the expr code under LGPL.
Quote: “I got news from IRCAM that they are willing to release expr code on LGPL. Will that solve the current licensing problems? Max, could you communicate to the list and let me know what they think about this. I hope this helps.”
So what is the situation now that expr could be LGPL instead of GPL? What does that mean for things like the Apple App Store?

or has anyone ever tried contacting the original authors and asking them to change the license so it can fit in with pd's standard BSD ??
I've had the pleasure to meet Shahrokh Yadegari a few weeks back here in Weimar and asked him about just that. He said he always wanted to change the license to BSD. IIRC it is based on some older code which has a licence attached he can't change, so he would like to rewrite those parts but simply didn't find the time to do that yet. On the website ( http://crca.ucsd.edu/~yadegari/expr.html ) is written: “Based on original sources from IRCAM's jMax Released under GNU's General Public License.”
According to Shahrokh that would take him under a week to do but it was a matter of time/priority that it had not happened as of today. So maybe asking him nicely could to the trick. Or send a voucher for week in a californian retreat...
