Then the consequence is, that no Max/MSP external can be GPL since they all link to GPL incompatible Max/MSP. Eh?
Yes, basically. There is a distinction that if an external is created specifically for the Max/MSP SDK and does not use code from other GPL'ed projects, then there is an (arguable) implicit exception. But you can't (legally) take code from a third party GPL'ed project and use that either directly or as a library in a Max/MSP external. This naturally happens, but mostly because people aren't actually reading the license that they're using. -Scott
