Hi all,
Given the recent discussion, here's some ahead notice (FWIW). I am currently working with my GTA on completing the port of the munger~ object which is a part of the Percolate lib but is also broken in the old Pd port. The port is flext-based which will allow the original author to continue its maintenance in a platform-agnostic way. The current status is that it is fully operational and based off of the 0.9beta5. The only thing remaining is to port elements found in the beta6 and release it. We should be hopefully releasing this object in the next couple of days.
Best wishes,
Ico

I didn't check, but isn't munger~ licensed with the "no commercial, educational only" clause? If yes, then you might run into legal trouble because flext is GPL and the two licenses would be way incompatible.

This is encouraging, as munger~ is really the object I want to use the most. My opinion is keep going even if we don't figure out the licensing right away. I'm just starting to realize what a conundrum licensing could be.
Has anyone considered contacting the original authors and requesting GPL licensing? Is there any other kind of permission we could seek?
Also, what about derivative code? I have little knowledge about the differences in these licenses, so if someone could point out a particularly lucid article that would be tight.

I know Dan very well, he's a really cool guy. Luke less so, however. FWIW, I can ask him to see if he would not mind altering license a bit to allow its inclusion in the pd cvs.
Best wishes,
Ico

Oh, please try! Having percolate's non-STK objects available would be so lovely. I'm sure it's not in their intention to keep percolate from being used in open source projects just because of a hairy license issue, but they are the only ones who could do something about it.
