Does this mean VLC will be back on the App Store? I remember it being pulled due to a contributor (who around ~2010 worked for Nokia) complaining to Apple.



Possibly, yes. But so far, iOS aout and vout are not LGPL.


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.
