Hi Jonathan,
if you want to use pd in a commercial application, and particularly
if you want to use it as the basis for an iphone application, then
you cannot include anything that is licensed under the GPL license.
In vanilla PD, this means that you have to remove any expr objects.
The rest of pd is licensed under the 'standard improved BSD license,
which if freer, and allows you to use pd for commercial applications
without revealing the source code, too.
The GPL has absolutely no restrictions on commerce. You are free to
sell any GPL software however you see fit. But you must give the
source code to everyone you give the software to. As the author of a
fair mount of GPL software, I want to reiterate: please sell my
software. The more people that are using it, the more likely they'll
want to hire me to improve it.
