pffft, all a headache

> Any closed-source application can link statically with LGPL libs if it provides its object files to allow relinking with further / alternative versions of the LGPL library

really dont get why any of that exists

its no a huge deal i guess, you could just use the wx dlls / so etc... but still, a pain for, at least to me, no reason whatsoever

Licensing is also always complicated.

yeah, and i just really dont get why... i mean, "sure, you can use the dlls", but "no, you cant use them statically"... i mean, who cares, why not?

because ... i don't know xD

Thats because i like MIT license. Its very easy and also small to read

Apache is also fine

yeah, same... i mean, MIT (at least my "non-understanding") is "have it, use it, do what you want with it"

Yes! This is MIT. And Apache is the same but with: Please mention us

only two open source software licences that make sense to me then...

i also know BSD and zlib. I think there are more good licenses which are easy to read and to use.

I don't change the slider value within the view constructor, I change it from my flixel code after creating an instance of it (so I can access the game volume variable):

haxe
mainView = new EditorView();
musicVolume = 0.7;
...
mainView.musicVolumeSlider.onChange = (_) ->
{
    musicVolume = mainView.musicVolumeSlider.value / 100;
    FlxG.sound.music.volume = musicVolume;
}
mainView.musicVolumeSlider.pos = musicVolume;

... oh damn I just realised, I'm an idiot

forgot to multiply it by 100 for the slider

🤦‍♂️

hmm, it's still happening

never mind, I realised that when it was getting created dynamically I was still forgetting to set the volume, only set it the first time

The GPL (and the LGPL) are viral licenses. The goal is to make all software that is a "derivative work" of GPL software fall under the GPL. The intention behind that is to "force" all software to be free. But in reality those licenses just make our lives a pain, and if corporations don't want to make free software, they won't. Licenses like the GPL makes sense for eg the Linux kernel, but NOT FOR LIBRARIES. But unfortunately Richard "Free Software Messiah" Stallman has convinced some people that the GPL should be used everywhere.

so its working? Or not?

out of interest, why is GPL useful for linux kernal and not just MIT?

Because it stops Microsoft (and other corporations) from shipping their own proprietary versions of the kernel, thus forcing them to at the very least open-source some of their code, or better, to contribute back.

somehow still not working

ah, gotcha

OK, if you can set up a minimal repro, ill take a look when i get a moment

done

on the haxeui-flixel GH tracker

now to stop before I get RSI
