Thanks for the response, it's really appreciated.
I'm sorry if I've p*ssed anyone off - it wasn't intentional. I just hadn't thought about putting a copy of PD on the CD - but if that works, all the better.
I only mentioned executables as it's my only frame of reference - I certainly don't want to limit my audience to Windows users, or to protect my patches. That wasn't the point. At the end of the day I just want to make a generative CD that's as easy to play as possible. In retrospect however, I realise that my comments could have been construed as against the spirit of the whole [pd] thing.
Sorry about that.
Many thanks, again.
Richard

I don't think you pissed anybody off. I don't even think that Frank [or myself, for that matter] meant our replies as a flame. Probably more like a soapbox than a flame ;-) The technical end of the question had been well-handled, but there were some, um, philosophical things which came out of the discussion.
Best wishes, D.

Yes, I didn't feel ps'd off and I also didn't want to sound harsh or anything like that nor is it my intention to start a flame on anybody here.
Actually I only wanted to praise a feature of open source software, that is: everyone is allowed to distribute and change this software, as long as some simple rules are followed. So there's nothing stopping anybody to put Pd on a CD together with lots of patches.
Actually maybe that would make a nice community project: Selling CDRs with patches and stuff, and donating the income to pure-data.org or so?
