You're saying that iOS about and bout must be LGPL first before there can be a VLC app in the iOS App Store? That goes against my idea of the point of LGPL, but I could well be wrong. I thought I could interface non-LGPL code with it.

The audio output and video output are still GPL, so far. Maybe this was not clear enough.

Oh, you mean in VLC lib itself. BTW, will there be a "static link exception" for the iOS App Store?

I am not sure to understand what you mean, to be honest.

Look for "Static Library Exception"
