[Interest] Fwd: vs. Flutter

[Jean-Michaël Celerier]

Cisco did it with an app that uses gstreamer (which is under LGPL) :
https://itunes.apple.com/ua/app/cisco-jabber/id467192391?mt=8.
They send it on request, with the proprietary part in a static lib (see at
the end here :
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-plugins-good/blob/master/README.static-linking
)

Best,
Jean-Michaël
