But maybe you could answer a question I have regarding
the Traktor NML
format. Is this in some way protected under some kind of "intellectual
property" of NI? As more and more netlabels like Thinner now also
provide *.nml files for their releases, I intended to write a small Pd
external that parses and makes this information available inside of
Pd. This is easy to do, and I will do it anyway, but I just wonder if
I could distribute the plugin legally and under the GPL.
I believe that as you are using the data for interoperability purposes
that you are OK. The DMCA and (now aborted) european thing both allow
that.
