To some extend, that's a point for GPLv3 : clarify the "I just bundle
the the software as is" situation and stuff like that.

You can always have libpd embedded in a dumb socket listener software,
with opened source code, and have your closed-source application connect
to it via TCP.  By doing so you respect the licence from a law
standpoint, but you don't really respect the spirit. It's up to you to
decide wheter it's a problem or not.
