If it were up to me, we'd keep all of Sevy's stuff in Pd-extended. The

Invalid licenses are not to be automatically ignored. If you sign a
contract that contradicts itself, that doesn't allow you to ignore any
part of that contract. Instead, the contract has to be explicitly amended
so that it can be respected wholly.
I don't buy the argument that the Sevy's stuff should be removed out of
respect for the author, as this argument conflicts with a more
compelling argument of respect for the community, for free software, and
for the GPL license.
Sevy's stuff should be removed out of respect for the GPL license.
Do you get this ?
