Well, there is what Miller calls the "Standard Improved BSD," or SIBSD,
which is generally referred to as the Modified BSD license to differentiate from
the "original BSD" license:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses

The Modified BSD allows anyone to use the code in proprietary software. 
But even with the GPL, the copyright holder can decide to sell
individual commercial licenses to a company to use the code in proprietary
software (The author of JUCE does this).  There's a
video somewhere on the web of Richard Stallman being grilled about
about this practice, but his explanation of suggesting it to a company
to get them to release the code under the GPL in the first place
seems reasonable.

The difference it seems is that BSD allows proprietary use of the software. Right??

Ok, so "Standard Improved BSD," or "SIBSD" seems to be the answer to my question.

Thanks,
Jonathan

The core of Pd from MIller is BSD.  He distributes it with some GPLv2 stuff in it.  Pd-extended includes BSD, GPLv2 and GPLv3 code, so its GPLv3 as a whole pacakge.

Bernardo, BSD licens also is free software. There are a lot of different free software license. not only GPL, and Puredta is not GPL.

I think it *have to be* GPL (v.3), since PD is free software, doesn't it?
