Max externals license issue

July 7, 2004

A recent thread at the Max-MSP mailing list discussed the possibility of porting SuperCollider ugens to Max/MSP. As SC is released under the GNU General Public License it apparently can’t be done.

The implication of this is that my own Max objects currently released under GPL can’t be used without violating the license. Ergo: I better start looking for alternative licenses fulfilling two very basic requirements: (a) don’t sue me (b) feel free to do anything you want to with the code and objects as long as everybody else can do so too. The Mozilla Public License seems a good option.
