Some LGPL2 libraries add a static linking exception. Others the authors don't really care and don't bother submitting copyright violations to Apple.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoThe link you just provided says this: > have a couple of choices according to the license requirements […] You can keep your app closed-source, but you provide to your users all the object code of your application necessary to re-link your application. That means for example all the .o and .a files. Most people forget that this option is in fact available to iPhone app developers.
- carussell 11y agoSpend two minutes to read the rest of the article. It's technically possible for anyone developing with iPhone SDK to satisfy the LGPL, but that's so trivial an observation that there's hardly a reason to mention it. Writing an app with the iPhone SDK and publishing it on the App Store are not the same thing. The latter is the point that we're discussing.
