can Winelib be used with commercial applications?

Post by balasahu »

This is the only place I can ask this question since the WineHQ forum is locked for some reason... So please tell me if I can statically link Winelib with a commercial application and what are the terms of its use - should it be acknowledged in documentation, application's about box, etc.?

That's really a question for a lawyer, and IANAL. But I can tell you that Wine's license is LGPLv2, and a full copy of the license is on https://wiki.winehq.org/Licensing.
