[pygame] Licensing Issues...

[Lasse Laursen <gazoo@xxxxxxx>]

Hey PyGame Developers,

I'm currently in the process of developing a commercial product using 
PyGame as well as Py2Exe... Now - basically I'm wondering if other 
people has had a hand in releasing any commercial python software using 
PyGame... I am aware of the MS pitfall regarding the msvcr71.dll file 
and that so far, the apparently only legal recourse is to purchase 
visual studio .net 2003... But I've been wondering a bit about Python 
and its dependancies...

I know that PyGame is LGPL and friendly towards commercial products... 
Searching the net I also found the following:

http://archives.seul.org/pygame/users/Oct-2004/msg00099.html

Now this is all well and good, but when looking closer - at least one 
library that PyGame uses seem to be licensed under the regular GPL - for 
example the smpeg lib from this location: http://icculus.org/smpeg/

I know that lawyers don't exactly troll programming mailing lists, but 
even some general knowledge would do me good here... I would assume that 
since the entire PyGame package has one license, that's the one to keep 
an eye on... Which would be the easiest for me without a doubt... All 
feedback welcome...

Regards,

Gazoo
