then there's the question of whether any and all Pd patches are

Most externals are GPL'ed (and therefore Pd-extended too), so there
you have to watch.
does this mean it makes a difference if I use a library from within pd-extended or install it myself? from my understanding GPL is more restrictive than the Pd license (BSD). because it forces me to publish whatever I create under GPL again. does working with a library that is gpl force me to open source my pd patch? is a pd patch a derived software at all? and if yes, which are the libraries that can be used without problems? marius.
