Licensing question for iOS deployment #1043

Closed elix22 closed 1 year ago

elix22 commented 1 year ago

ZeroMQ is licensed under the same license LGPLv3 but with static linking exception . SEE : http://wiki.zeromq.org/area:licensing Meaning it can be used in closed source commercial iOS applications. (on iOS everything is statically linked)

I didn't find the same license exception in this project .

On IOS all .NET assemblies are AOT compiled prior of deployment . So specifically in this case the netmq assembly is AOT compiled and statically linked with the iOS binary so basically to my understanding it can't be used on IOS for commercial use.

Can someone clarify if this is specific use case

Thanks
