Many parts are more widely usable than the GPL allows, but you would
need to check the license for that part before doing so ... the only
thing that the distribution claims is that its contents are all
compatible with GPL3.
I just downloaded Pd 0.42.5-extended binary for Ubuntu 10.10 and clicked
about Pd. It says :
« Pd is copyrighted but is free for you to use for any reasonable purpose
under the GNU GPL version 3 . Follow the link for more details about the
license: »
and then when clicking, it says « Parts of this package can be used under
Pd’s BSD license » at the top, not saying which part. Clicking on that
link you get :
« This software is copyrighted by Miller Puckette and others. The
following terms (the "Standard Improved BSD License") apply to all files
associated with the software unless explicitly disclaimed in individual
files: »
So, it does not acknowledge of any BSD code that isn't copyrighted by
Miller, while not saying right away that Miller is the guy who holds the
copyright to the core (not counting expr~), and it's confusing people by
claiming GPL3 status in a way that would make people believe that the core
part is GPL3 too.
I think a library was dropped recently because the license was too
restrictive for GPL3.
Stating what the licensing goals are, is different from stating which
license(s) are in used, in which parts of Pd-extended.
