Ok sorry for blatantly advertising my app, but it seems that it turned
out to be the first one to take advantage of these new terms.
It’s the popular strategy game Hedgewars (www.hedgewars.org) that has
been ported to iPad (and soon to iPhone), using not only SDL, but the
custom FreePascal toolchain for Xcode (which is available here http://wiki.freepascal.org/iPhone/iPod_development)
Took almost one year to port because the whole frontend needed be
rewritten, and i never had any experience with objc
For the engine part (the code that is written in sdl) we had to
slightly modify how the gl contex is handled and reduce the texture
size (btw this also improved perfomance on desktop verion); for sdl
part we modified the sdl_uikitappdelegate to hook our objc frontend
and anything else that was modified has been submitted as a bug report
If anyone is interested, here is the link

It was already mainstream news when I posted, but the mainstream is
mostly focused on Flash. I wanted to bring attention these other
issues which have direct implications for SDL and may actually be far
more reaching than the focus on Flash. (There is a lot of (L)GPL
software out there.)
I wonder whats going to be the first app to advantage of this new,
more relaxed clause and what library it’ll use.(could it be SDL?) If
pygame gets ported, I would get an iphone/itouch just for that. Forget
flash.
P.S.
Maybe its time to put a yellow check mark next to iPhone and iPod
Development in the LGPL section of ?the table on the Galaxy GameWorks
page.
Congrats! :)On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 2:50 PM, Vittorio G. <vitto.giova at yahoo.it> wrote:
