bzzt. LGPL code is everywhere in Android and iOS. There are numerous apps built on GStreamer for both platforms, which is LGPL. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft pulled the pig-headed move though.

> LGPL code is everywhere in Android and iOS. You're not going to find LGPLv2.1 or LGPLv3 anywhere in them, however. Starting with LGPLv2.1 you are required to allow the end-user to replace a compiled binary you provided of the LPGL'ed component with their own, something that obviously cannot be guaranteed on any of the mobile platforms I listed. I suppose I should have clarified the version, but it's important to note that the FSF has tried to pull the tivoization card with more than just v3 of their licenses.
