[geos-devel] licensing when doing a static link of GEOS in iOS

[Ragi Burhum]

Sorry about bringing a licensing question, but I am curious.

I know the implications of using LGPL code in shared libraries (on
"traditional" apps), so no need to explain it there.

However, I am curious as to the iOS case, where every app *has* to be
statically linked. I know there are apps out there that have been compiled
with Spatialite support (with GEOS option on), but the code for those apps
are nowhere to be found. Is it because they are violating the LGPL, or is
there some other way to link to GEOS without having to release all of your
code under GPL terms.

Thanks,

- Ragi
