I didn't want to look that pissed, but I sure did anyway.

What I want to say is that a lot of problems of PureData have already been 
solved in DesireData, and for something of the order of one line of code, 
you can't possibly have copyright/licensing problems if you just copy it.

I don't really need to do anything to keep any potential competitive 
advantage of DesireData. The main protection I have is some people's 
unwillingness to grep the source code.

I'm saying that in the interest of everybody. Now if I only had a 
consistent work schedule for DesireData instead of orbiting around the 
rest of the work that is left to be done... this issue could be moot.

My 2.07 cents.
