Good point.
Maybe so for upstream development, but irrelevant for Debian
packaging, I
believe.
The decision of wether to package or not a piece of software certainly
must consider the license available. Note that making software
proprietary is not the only reason to avoid GPLed dependencies.
All I am saying is that people decide to use libraries based on their
license. I've packaged public domain, BSD, LGPL, and GPL software for
Debian at this point, it doesn't affect what I package.
I am also not saying that anyone should or shouldn't use [arraysize].
I am saying that many people use it, and find it useful (myself
included) and therefore I packaged it.
As for a bundle of simple Pd libs, there really aren't others like
arraysize, so it'd likely be a bundle of one.
As for the 'flatspace' collection upstream, I think its a bad hack,
and I plan on removing it from Pd-extended, and I won't package it.
