[PD] HRTF

Was PD previously under GPL?  I published my Pd patch together with
copies of Pd, zexy, cyclone, and toxy, and the only license file I
could find in my Pd folder was GPL.
I meant this in exactly the sense you are saying, but I wasn't aware
Pd was under the Berkley License.

So after software has been released under a license, it is possible to
retroactively change the license?  Sounds strange to me.
