those are now part of Pd vanilla and fall under the (permissive) BSD license

the GPL doesn't prohibit donations in any way, it doesn't even stop anyone from selling the software. also, if you're the sole author, you can do whatever you want with your software, i.e. you can release it under several licenses. there are prominent software projects which use a dual-licensing model (often GPL + commercial license), like Qt, JUCE or the VST3 SDK.

Betreff: [PD-dev] Using PD and Patreon

Hello, and thanks for your time.

My name is Agustin Riolfo and I am developing a music software to make guitar effects. I found that your software is suitable for my application.

I won´t sell the software but I would like to have a Patreon account so that if some fans would like to, can contribute with me.

The question is, being that the software would not be sold and that would only be donations, is there any problem on having a Patreon account? Moreover, if I use blocks like [expr] or [expr~] that use a GPL licence (as far as I know), would donations through Patreon be a problem??

Thanks in advance
