Btw I can see it's a snapshot of 2009/09/06. Do I understand right that 1) dd is being actively developed these days 2) some code from it gets its way to pd? DD is GPL and Pd is BSD so code can only flow Pd->DD.
Wow. Why?
Oh, don't worry: it's not true.
However, using different licenses in the same program means all licenses have to be respected at once, and if you do that, then effectively the whole program has to be handled as if it were all GPL'ed, except for the fact that you can take any SIBSD part of it and handle it under SIBSD license. This is because GPL basically includes SIBSD's clauses, not the other way around.
Hans has not mentioned the other possibilities: making Pd partially GPL'ed, or asking me (and Chun) for relicensing some parts to SIBSD, or invoking fair use (for small snippets), etc.
Note: SIBSD = the 1999 version of the BSD license.
