Hi all, I am busy developing an app for iOS for our school. It is an app that makes it possible for students to check their balance for printing (it connects to an Equitrac SQL server). We are testing it yet on a few devices, but when we want it to be available for the students, we have to publish it through the iTunes App Store. Will this break the LGPL, under which the FreeTDS library is published? The app would be published free, but the libary is statically linked. Seems I can publish the LGPL license at the information page, or I can incorporate an info view or something like that, mentioning the license. Hope you can help me with problem (or should I say challenge... ) As a sidenote: I had to change a line in the original FreeTDS source, to make it compile on the Mac. This in sybdb.h (and is a known issue..). I found his change at http://osdir.com/ml/cocoa-dev/2009-09/msg00942.html My change to sybdb.h: (line 148) #if !defined (_WINDEF_) && !defined(_WINDEF_H) && !defined(_DOS32X_) && !defined(OBJC_BOOL_DEFINED)
