[Live-devel] multi-threaded connect() and EBADF

No, modifying the supplied code does not violate the LGPL license, *provided that* you distribute your modifications along with your product (and, of course, comply with the other terms of the LGPL); see

OK, in the current (just released) version of the “LIVE555 Streaming Media” code (version 2015.06.21), I have changed this member function to be virtual.

I encourage you, however, to first try to track down the actual cause of this bug, rather than simply trying to ‘work around’ it.  The bug may well end up being something other than a bug in your Windows libraries, and/or may be masking a more serious problem somewhere.
