What do i have to make sure (SDL License wise), to be able to eventually distribute my iPhone Application on the App Store.

This is my assumptions:
- I have to link to SDL as a shared object.
- I have to let the user know that i'm using the SDL library.

Please help me cast some light over it, as i certainly don't want to break any license rules if my application eventually is going to the App Store :-)


Hello Mathias,

The LGPL allows you to _link_ to the libSDL library without releasing any code. However, if you incorporate any source code (eg: copy/paste) or modify any libSDL source code then those changes must be made available under the LGPL.


Hope this helps,
