Was PD previously under GPL? I published my Pd patch together with copies of Pd, zexy, cyclone, and toxy, and the only license file I could find in my Pd folder was GPL. I meant this in exactly the sense you are saying, but I wasn't aware Pd was under the Berkley License.
So after software has been released under a license, it is possible to retroactively change the license? Sounds strange to me.

I don't think that CSound is more Open that PD, as I believe that Miller has released PD under the Berkley License, which is far more open than the GNU license, it doesn't require any kind of adherance to any sort of policy, you can use it for whatever purposes you see fit, even commercial...

I believe Csound is under LGPL, and if I understand correctly the main difference is that people who use parts of it in commercial applications are not required to keep their source open. Someone else will know better, but to my understanding that makes Csound more open than Pd.

I'd love to hear work that comes out of a combination of Csound and Pd I think both are great, just different.
Something I feel very strongly about though, are there still 'licensing issues' with Csound or has it shaken off all it's encumberances and become a totally free OS codebase?

Pd people continue to ignore Csound, and Csound people continue to ignore Pd, despite the great power of combining them. I can't help feeling like this is a symptom of being more interested in some intellectual problem than in using all of the available tools to make music. Not seeing the forest for the trees, in a way.
this is somewhat true, but ignores the fact that Pd is well established _outside_ the computer music community too.
you cannot expect dsp-engineers developping the latest-and-greatest binaural rendering system to get into csound. (but they do use Pd)
Fair enough. Csound is indeed audiocentric, as am I. I just know Csound has already implemented HRTF, and exists as a PD object, which I thought the poster wanted. If his interest is in pulling an abstraction apart to see how it works, then Csound probably isn't the easiest way. As far as computer music, it's true that I come across few people who are active on both lists, and occasional disparaging remarks about one or the other. I guess the best thing for me to do in that case is to try to show some of the great things that can come from the combination, rather than complaining about negativity.
