Comment:

 The situation is a bit
 [https://old.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/nri38r/file_contained_in_riot_client_build_that_is/
 unclear] (is it just forgotten code that was only ever meant for internal
 usage, or is that actively being used in the game?), but if this is true
 not releasing the source code is a violation of the license.

 The thing being LGPL just means that copyleft explicitly doesn't apply to
 anything linking to it. '''''But''''' the library itself is still
 protected. It is not a permissive license.
