Hi, I am using a library licensed under GNU LGPL. I am dynamically linking to the unmodified dll (www.lib3ds.org). While writing the documentation of the software, this is what I wrote to acknowledge the use of that library: I developed that application during several years, however, without the contributions, help, support, advice, or generosity of many people, it wouldn’t have become what it is today. I wish to thank and acknowledge the contributions in various forms of the following people or group of people: ... The developers of the lib3ds library (www.lib3ds.org) for the free 3DS importer they provide. See the credit And a little bit further down (or when you click "see the credit"): Credit for the lib3ds library (my application is linking dynamically to the unmodified “lib3ds-2_0.dll"-file): Copyright (C) 1996-2008 by Jan Eric Kyprianidis <www.kyprianidis.com>.

That's fine for credit, though I think you need to include the text of the LGPL itself in your license materials.

Thank you Oluseyi!

That's what I thought, but that is pretty long. Well, puting a link to that text doesn't work I guess ;)

When you say "your license material", what is it is exactly? Can I put the text of the LGPL directly under the credit part I already have?

You can probably put it in a text file that is distributed along with your software.

the x-com games sold on steam simply has a COPYING.txt containing the GPL license for DOSBox in a dosbox subfolder (This subfolder only contains textfiles with the license, credits, readme, etc for DOSBox, the actual DOSBox binaries are in the game folder) , they seem to have missed the license for SDL though.

Thank you Simon,

That's what I will do. That should be fine!
