I am currently working on an FMOD integration for Haxe. Are we allowed to commit the FMOD API files to our repo or include them in our releases? ---

Hi , You are allowed to redistribute the dlls only typically with a product. If there are more files involved for compilation, we typically dont want the SDK broken up into parts. This is why we recommend users download the full package from our website. ---

I am sorry, but I don’t understand if my library is considered a product or not: [github repo](https://tanneris.me/haxe-fmod) ---

When I say product I mean a released game or application. If if are writing a wrapper for sometihng, the dll rule still applies. I can’t see any fmod API files in that github repro (maybe im not looking hard enough), but generally it is ‘dll only’ ---

I am explicitly leaving the API out of the repo as to not break the rules. The readme explains how the user can download it and put it into the library once they clone it down or pull it in using a package manager. The only files the repo relies on are fmod.dll, fmodstudio.dll, and fmodstudio\_vc.lib (provided by the user) ---

im ok to include the libs as they are pretty much bound to each other , just make sure the user is aware fmod is not a free library if they use it. Brett ---

Thank you! I have added a note to the first section of the readme regarding your license. ---

I am the Head of Development of [FlyWithLua](https://github.com/sparker256/FlyWithLua) which is a plugin for X-Plane. I have added Fmod support but have not added the FMOD API to the repo because I wanted to make sure that would be OK if I followed the same rules posted above. ---

yes import libraries, static libraries and dynamic libraries are ok to distribute / store in a repo. edit: and headers so that it will compile. regards, Brett ---

Thanks for the info and have tried to make it clear that Fmod is not a free Library.
