Possibly a naive question:
These LGPL clauses say the binaries for the work that uses the library must be released with the modified source code of the library itself. Does that imply that people would be free to use binaries (and thus the product)? Am asking for the general case, not specifically for Sparrow.
- asdfaoeu 14y agoThey only have to distribute these binaries to people who already brought the product. My guess as to why it is public ally accessible is that due to selling it through the app store they can't tell who actually brought it and the amount of people who can compile this, would pirate it, couldn't pirate from somewhere else and would have brought it if they couldn't pirate it is pretty minimal.
