Sorry, but you are wrong. JEDI-SDL is Mozilla Public License 1.1 (MPL  
1.1). I don't know all refinements of licences, but JEDI-SDL is based on   
SDL libraries and they are LGPL version 2, so if we want to use JEDI-SDL  
headers they will bring us  MPL 1.1 and it's requirements. But linking  
with  SDL library will bring  LGPL 2. If you mean static linking (ld job  
and static libraries) then we need permissions not from Dominique but from  
Sam  Lantinga. As far as I know JEDI-SDL haven't its own libraries.
