To add more confusion (and more fun) here's the text of the included 
copyright notice in the Debian package (/usr/share/doc/pd-pidip/copyright):

"This package was debianized by Pablo Martin <caedes at sindominio.net> 
on Fri, 18 Jul 2003 05:42:47 +0200.
It was downloaded from http://ydegoyon.free.fr
Upstream Author: Yves Degoyon <ydegoyon at free.fr>
Copyright:
This software is published under GPL terms, found on Debian systems in the 
file /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2."

The date suggest that it is an older license.
Also mentionned in /usr/share/doc/pd-pidip/README :
"This software is published under GPL terms."
