If you want to make games based on gpl license (publish your source code) its free.

If you want to do commercial games its $99 for game-editor.

If u have your game finished you can have a look here http://www.galaxygameworks.com/license-FAQ.html#6.

This tells u how to license to used library SDL. Only the case if u have your game in appstore.

thanks
now i got it

Tough stuff. So that´s $99/year for apple iphone dev account, $99/year for express GE license AND $99 license PER commercial iphone game?? ok, then i better start saving some money....

Lemme comment this:

-Apple account is $99. This includes sales, marketing, testing from Apple. Its a fantastic service. This is why iPhone apps just "work" compared to other mobiles..
-GE Express $99. If you think this is a lot, I cant help.
-SDL License $99. Yes but its ratable.

If you want to start saving money you should walk away from iphone anyway.

EDIT:
The Android way (beta) would look like:

-Android Marketplace; $20
-GE Express $99
-No SDL required due to dynamic linking

No, no i´m fine with this ... I only though its a one-time payment for the SDL ...! (Not per game/product).
