In this view, Miller has the biggest balls of dem all. :)
Is there a legal reason for PD not be GPL? Maybe it has some code from another project?
If any code that Pd took from other projects had any license more restricted than SIBSD, Miller wouldn't be able to call Pd as under SIBSD license as a whole, he'd have to state "except such and such". This mostly happens for some pieces in the /extra/ folder, such as [expr], which is GPL'ed.
But if you want to see something really scary in Pd, look at d_fft_mayer.c. If you understand at all what's the license of this, let alone who owns the code and whether the license is legally invalidated by patents, please tell me now.
