What I mean to say is that I don't have the time right know to explain  
the details of how licensing works in regards to Pd-extended.  But  
there are many sources of that information.

That is what I mean.  I also mean that if you use Pd-extended as a  
whole, then it is GPLv3.  The Pd-extended source code includes all of  
the licenses files of the included subprojects, fulfilling the  
requirements of BSD, MIT, etc.
