Ok, a few more questions concerning help patches:
- What is a PD-meta GENRE? Is there a list of them somewhere to
choose from?
I think we only really talked about obvious ones, like VERSION,
AUTHOR, COPYRIGHT, DESCRIPTION. Don't remember anything about GENRE.
Perhaps that's something like a category. TAGS might also be
appropriate.
- For PD-meta DATATYPE, take "gatom-help.pd" as an example:
should this list acceptable DATATYPEs like "bang float list symbol", or just the datatypes that are most likely to be useful for this object, i.e., "bang float"?
Hmm, donno, any record of such things would be in the pddp IRC chat
transcripts.
- Are all of the internal objects inherited from pd-vanilla really
GPL? I thought they were under the "Standard Improved BSD License" unless explicitly stating otherwise in the source code.
Yeah, what Frank said. Some externals are also GPLv3 or later, while
most are GPLv2 or later.
