As the maintainer and main author of the pd-extended.git, I will you give you my assurance that the code under pd-extended.git is under a BSD license. That repo is a fork of the pure-data.git repo of Miller, it is largely intended as way to develop and feed patches to the upstream pure-data.git, and as Matju pointed out, the only license statement in pd-extended.git is Miller's BSD one from pure-data git.

That said, building the actual Pd-extended package uses stuff that is outside that repo which is definitely GPL. That's the stuff in the pure-data SVN.

Even though from the standpoint of using Pd as one indiscriminate whole, you can think of it as GPL because that's the «strongest» license being used, the BSD portions are so large in size that it's misleading to say that GPL is the license of Pd. That's because it's very possible to pick the parts of Pd you want to use so that you only use BSD code, and because the core of the software is under BSD license.
