Right. > However, as they depend on libwp* stuff, and link to them (statically) > or maybe include inline C++ code from libwp* headers, that is > irrelevant, isn't it, they effectively become LGPLv2+-only, too? Linking statically might have an unintended licensing impact (IANAL), but my hope would be that we could re-work the (fairly small?) parts of libwp* that are required for libcdr / libvisio and/or persuade the authors to MPL dual license them, such that we can ship them on iOS :-) [ I assume that is the question behind the question ]. Presumably some sort of audit would be necessary there; fun as it is ;-) I'll prolly delay doing that until after the go-oo & libreoffice audits are done [ currently in progress ]. So - for iOS, I guess that means disabling them in configure / elsewhere for now.
