LGPL is specific to the library. A proprietary application can ship with an LGPL library, as long as the library hasn't shipped with proprietary modifications.

  But Unity can’t do that because it transpiles code on build… simply linking using LD wouldn’t make you have to adopt. Any modifications would, and would have to be published in source code form. This is why, in Unity, LGPL is the black plague.

    Why would transpiling mean anything special?

    unity only does transpiling for C# to native code if you enable it in your project. it cannot transpile the (presumably) linked native library so this shouldnt be an issue here

      Consoles operate a bit differently. Sometimes it’s necessary to binary patch. Breaking LGPL.

        These VLC packages only had assets for Windows, UWP and Android.
