24 This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be | |
25 found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL | |
26 freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic | |
27 library. | |
28 | |
29 The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in | |
30 the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. | |
31 The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. | |
