Licences for Love's Dependencies in a Distributed Work?

[gurok]

Hi,

If I were to create something using LOVE and distribute it packaged up with the LOVE binary, what sort of licensing information would I need to include with it? As I understand it, I should probably mention the fact that LOVE itself is distributed under a zlib licence. Should I also include a mention the licences of SDL, libmpg123, OpenAL and DevIL? What sort of attribution do these components require?

Yes. For SDL, libmpg123, OpenAL and DevIL you have to mention that they're under the LGPL and distribute a copy of the LGPL. I think you also need to distribute the source if someone (you distributed the binary to) is really asking for it.

The FreeType license requires you to mention that the project "is based in part of the work of the FreeType Team".

The rest is under zlib/MIT/BSD licenses or variants thereof.

You could probably use this to start off with, gurok: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/src/541 ... icense.txt. It's the license file included in LOVE's source.

Yeah, I found that license.txt file in the .zip download (but strangely not installed by the installer). Thanks to both of you. This covers everything I'd considered, plus a few I hadn't. Strange that the license.txt file makes no mention of FreeType.
