I agree but how could such a term ever be enforced if the military were to use it? Through litigation? IMO such a term is unenforceable ... arguably making it redundant-although I am happy to hear other's point of view?
+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.
