Hallo,

To Whom It May Concern: bonk~.c in Pd sources prior to version 0.42
has a little license issue. Old versions, e.g.
http://tinyurl.com/cz6s95 include this section:

    2 (tapel at ucsd.edu). Permission is granted to use this software for any
    3 noncommercial purpose. For commercial licensing please contact the UCSD
    4 Technology Transfer Office.

which obviously is not compatible with pd-extended, Debian etc. 

This issue is fixed in the current versions of bonk~.c were we find the usual
"Standard Improved BSD License" clause, see e.g.:
http://tinyurl.com/ceotxv

If you distribute Pd with bonk~, you probably want to update your sources. You
get new features, too.

Ciao
