i was just leaving the door open in case someone told me about some
(easy) way to do the replacement. i am not very familiar with what
Dominique describes, but if it means as i guess that the DLL is part
of the exectuable and is extracted at run time without the end user
being able to modify it, then yes it is against the license. i wasnt
100% sure though :)On 11/9/05, Mike Frysinger wrote:

If the author also offers the source or object files to the application
and instructions to link them… he can distribute a package with it
statically linked. It’s not pretty… but can be done.

Hello !
One of the guys on the JEDI-SDL mailing list has just asked if he can
embed the SDL DLL into a Windows Exe when distributing his application. I
thought this might go against SDL’s licence, but thought I would check on
here and get back to him.
He can, but he has to distribute
a dynamic version somewhere. He can
upload it to the web and publish the link
for example in the README.
CU
Why can’t he just include SDL.dll with his application?
