Hi, I am experimenting with using gettext to translate an Android game. I hit one technical issue, but found a way around it, (see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41766 )
Now I have a legal issue. My code uses libintl.jar to get proper plural handling, but the Android game I work on is not free software. Since libintl.jar is LGPL 2.1+ I am wondering if it is legal to ship the jar in the Android .apk. A .apk is technically a .zip file with a specific format, but the .jar files are not included in it untouched: they are "dex-ed" into a "classes.dex" file. I did some research but could not find a firm answer from a trusted authority on whether it is legal to use unmodified LGPL code in a proprietary .apk. Can you tell me if it is legal to do so?
