For Linux and Mac Notation Software uses the concept of WineHQ (www.winehq.org), in particular for Mac we use the Wine package built by Mike Kronenberg (http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/).

The libs with the LGPL license are built according to the license agreement in separate dll files. In that set-up they are available for distribution in commercial applications like Notation Software products. The source code can be downloaded from the according distributor. All libs are built using the instructions of the distributor.
