The libs with the LGPL license are built according to the license agreement in separate dll files or are used in original builds from the authors. In that set-up they are available for distribution in commercial applications like Notation Software products. The source code can be downloaded from each original distributor. The instructions of the distributor were used for those libs which we built by our own.

*) JACK (partly) and Carla are under GLP license. We use/recommend unmodified binary versions from the authors. In order to meet our quality criteria we have certified our software against certain versions of these packages. According to the GPL license these certified packages can be downloaded from our website in binary form as well as the original unmodified source code.
