Hi, 1. Are there other IUP dependencies that require this library?
No, all these libraries are independent features. You can simply ignore them. You must link with the specific library to use it, and then be dependent of its license requirements. 2. There is no way this code can be used with a commercial app, correct? When using LGPL you can if the library is in an external module, for instance in a DLL. And you must include its license text in the distribution. 3. Any advice for removing this library and code cleanly? As I said, you can simply ignore them by not using the features they provide for IM, CD and IUP. In these cases you must explicitly use something not in the regular IM, CD or IUP libraries. If you are linking with just the main IUP, CD and IM libraries you don't have to worry about these libraries.
