Yes, for dynamic linking or static linking and opening your code it is still free. However for linking statically and keeping your code closed source it is over $500 per license.
We'll, Sam has to eat I suppose. And after supporting SDL for free all these years, he may as well start earning an income from it. I would think though that for >$500 per license it should be more of a game engine rather than the low level abstraction layer that it is. - Luke ------Original Message------ From: Mikhail Novikov Sender: [email protected] To: Application Builder Discussion ReplyTo: Application Builder Discussion Subject: Re: [ab] SDL 1.3 & static linking Sent: Oct 7, 2009 20:26 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello!
