Q: Can I use SDL in a commercial application? A: The simple answer is "Yes", just dynamically link with SDL and you're fine.
You do not have to include the source code to your application, since the end user can drop in a new version of the SDL shared library, which is the intent of the license.Full details are available at: http://www.libsdl.org/license.php
Q: Can I use code from the test directory? From the examples? A: Yes, code from the test directory and from the examples in the documentation is placed in the public domain. Anyone can use it for any purpose.
Q: Can I use code from the demos in my applications? A: Each of the demos has it's own licensing restrictions. See the "COPYING" file in each demo's source directory for more information on a particular demo.
