does this mean it makes a difference if I use a library from within
pd-extended or install it myself?
from my understanding GPL is more restrictive than the Pd license (BSD).
because it forces me to publish whatever I create under GPL again.
does working with a library that is gpl force me to open source my pd
patch? is a pd patch a derived software at all? and if yes, which are
the libraries that can be used without problems?
