Rest easy friend, you don’t have to include your source-code provided
you link your application to SDL in the way specified within the license…On Thu, Apr 12, 2001 at 11:07:12AM -0700, PeZ wrote:

FAQ! Read the license! SDL is LGPL!!!

The simple answer is just dynamically link with SDL, and you’re fine.
More details are available at:

How is this not clear? SDL is distributed under the LGPL
(http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html) which, in a nutshell, means SDL
stays open but any number of closed/hidden/obfuscated programs can link to
it. Commercial closed-sources programs that link to SDL can and have been
made and sold.
You get into trouble if you want to do something other than link to it,
but, I mean, hey! it /is/ a library…
