[PD] Can you close source of Pd patches (for commercial development)?

[Charles Z Henry]

Yes!  Of course!  One of the economic benefits of open-source software is
that it can reduce development costs.  Every good engineer should know this.

DO pay attention to licensing details.  You do have an obligation to the
license holders and your customers.  This is what makes the playing field
level for companies using open source software in products.
