The problem is that just giving away a working pd that will continue to 
work on the target computer is not always easy.

Does Pd have any "static-linked" version or otherwise self-contained? If 
externals have dependencies, is there anything that can copy those 
dependencies inside of a directory that can easily by zipped and shipped?

It doesn't have much to do with proprietary vs free.
