Apparently SDL-org changed the license of SDL from the LGPL (a copyleft license) to zlib (a permissive license).[1]
I don’t get why SDL-org would make the license change; unless if it’s for popularity.
Older Releases (Check the license in versions before SDL2 and 1.3.) ↩︎
It sounds like it was to allow static linking in commercial software. Previously, you had to ship a directory of dynamically linked libraries solely because of license restrictions.
