[PD] new license for pidip and unauthorized WAS: pd-pidip into Debian

[Derek Holzer]

What is there exactly in PiDiP that people need so badly? The (IMHO 
ugly) video filters from EffecTV? Or the streaming part?

In either case, the solution seems simple to me. PDP itself isn't really 
being maintained AFAIK, and isn't completely cross-platform anyways, so 
why not just implement what is needed from PiDiP in GEM?

If there is a (willfully) stubborn stone in the river, just fork and 
move around it! And one less reason to put up with a certain person's 
temper-tantrums later...
