They're very similar. The MSP component of MAX is PD. PD is licensed with a BSD license, which means you can create your own product without releasing the source code. That's what Apple did with OSX and Cycling74 with Max/MSP. Now, do we prefer to play with a ready-made software that will always hide how it's made, or work with a free software that shows us everything? The choice is simple enough...
and there's a big danger upon the open-source devellopers with software patent new laws.Even the GNU license is in danger. This create a radicalism also. We must now choose between freedom and business.
It has always been possible to do business with free software.
