How is Sublime executable linked?

#1

Dear Sublime Developer(s),

I have recently tried out your great piece of software, Sublime Text 2. I have a question for you. I’m planning to develop freeware (but closed-source) software. I want to create a build that is portable across Linux distributions, like your Linux binaries of Sublime.

How did you link your binaries?

Do they include statically linked libc? If they contain static libc, how can you do this with LGPL license (that libc has) while not releasing the source?

Or does it dinamically link to libc but you compiled them with an older version of libc to ensure forward compatibility?

Thanks
Pali
