Not sure if that is true. They state on their web site:
"Can I use LAME in my commercial program?
Yes, you can, under the restrictions of the LGPL. The easiest way to
do this is to:
1. Link to LAME as separate library (libmp3lame.a on unix or
lame_enc.dll on windows)
2. Fully acknowledge that you are using LAME, and give a link
to our web site, www.mp3dev.org
3. If you make modifications to LAME, you *must* release these
modifications back to the LAME project, under the LGPL."
So it appears that if I link against libmp3lame.a that would be ok.
Since it's a static ".a" and not a dynamic ".so" or ".dylib" they
clearly seem to have no objections against statically linking it in
which is quite easy to do on all platforms including iOS. You can't
really dynamically link a ".a" file as far as I am aware.
Or am I missing something here?
