Pd from Miller is BSD-licensed, so they can do anything they want with it as long as they post the copyright, basically.  Pd code is also included in Max/MSP, hence the mention of Miller on the splash page.

This is really impressive in many ways. Out of curiosity, how is the licensing  handled? Congratulations, Spore is one of the few games I have been eagerly anticipating, I cannot wait to get my hands on it :)

  But yes, since the cat is out of the bag, Spore uses Pd _very_ heavily.  I worked with the audio team to get it moved into the game engine when I was at EA.  The fact that Pd has the gui as a seperate app makes it fairly easy to get going.  It just runs headless in the engine.

  And yes, it does run just fine on a PS3 :-)
