Load.c is under LGPL

SDL Development

Hi,
just wondering : is there any reason why load.c is under LGPL as the rest of the
code? This means that when you want to distribute commercial game running on top
of SDL you must place load.c into separate DLL (unlike winmain.c which is in
public domain) in order to conform to the licencing conditions. So you have your
program, SDL loader DLL and SDL DLL…

Sorry, load.c should be in the public domain.

I’ll fix that.
