i just called a couple of apple numbers. first one had me on hold for 10 minutes so i gave up, 2nd one was useless.<br><br>BUT third one was a rather helpful lady whose name i now have and she has issued me a 'case number' so my question is now listed in their system at least, so hopefully i can get the 'yay or nay' from apple on LGPL code in iOS applications.<br>
<br>Also, i have already contacted a friend who works for a company making high profile iOS applications, and from what he is saying LGPL is OK. <br>it seems the main problem with plain GPL is that apple doesn't want to release their own surrounding code, which the GPL would force them to do.<br>
As far as i can see, LGPL doesn't have this strict requirement. You just need to make the LGPL part available to anyone who wants it. <br><br>Will keep hammering away here. LGPL sounds like it might be a better option, but i still reckon if <span class="st"><em></em>Mr Yadegari</span> is in favour of BSD, then that would be the best outcome. <br>
Personally i'd be happy to donate a couple of hundred dollars even to see a unified license for PD, but as this thread has shown, it sounds like i may get hippies camping on my lawn waving their GPL flags and trying to bum my goldfish. <br>
<br>Just casually browsing through a bunch of PD patches this afternoon though, [expr] and especially [expr~] are undeniably useful and show up in so many patches.<br><br><br><br>
