[PD] Legal restrictions for apps

[Ed Kelly]

Hi Dan, Miller et al.

I'm still somewhat confused about the LGPL issues with regarding apps.

Say I make an app that uses LibPd, and include an object or library that is licensed with an LGPL license. Would I have to include all source code for the app itself, or would it be sufficient to provide object files and source code for just the LGPL library I have used?

Cheers,
Ed
