Hi.
I'm a gamedeveloper and I want to use PGF in my games. But there is one problem with license. My current game is crossplatform and it's hard to link library dynamically on every platform. I want to link it statically (to simplify development process), but the game is commercial and I cannot opensource it.
Is it possible to add an exception to the license for gamedevelopment purposes or for cases when library wasn't changed or source code for library changes was opened (not including the source code of "application that uses library")?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
for the purpose of libPGF we interprete the LGPL quite non-restrictive. You are allowed to link libPGF statically provided you:
a) do not prohibit reverse engineering of the program
b) explicitly state that you used libPGF to create your program (depending on the impact e.g. in a startup splash screen, on product websites, in the about dialog, …)
You are not required to publish your source nor to distribute object files. We would like to list your project on http://libpgf.org/index.php?id=4
