<p>FWIW, I wouldn't consider pd-iem a fork, either. IMO, adding a
bunch of plugins doesn't qualify as a fork. I think a better word
would be "distro". Actually, that's how the project describes
itself:</p>
<p>"is a Pure Data libraries distribution for plain Pure Data
(Pd-vanilla), focussed on (but not limited to) IEM libraries."</p>
<p>Of course, there is no universal definition of "fork" and lots of
grey areas with great potential for infinite bike shedding.<br>

but the "pd-iem" has all kinds of different features, e.g. you do
do image processing and matrix processing and what not.
<br>
it doesn't change the source code of the implementation of `osc~`
though (but iirc, neither did DesireData, Pd-Devel or PurrData).
<br>
<br>
so where does "modification of the source code" start?
<br>
how is modifying a line of code in a git-repository different from
monkey-patching interpreted functions at runtime?
<br>
what's the role of dynamic extensions ("externals") in this
context?
