didn't even know there is an SDK

Not sure what to think of this. The picture loading functions seem useless (who uses TGA*?). At least for games it?s better to use SDL than this for windowing. But the math functions could be useful.
Too bad it?s LGPL too, it prevents someone from just copy-pasting useful functions into their project.

What did you mean as "LGPL too"? SDL2 is under zlib license.
Though it's still bad idea to copy-paste SDL2 code.

I prefer TGA for many reasons to for ex. PNG etc.
LGPL does that have any more restrictions over zlib etc? They both allow pretty much anything, aren't they?
Copy&paste seems ok for those?

No.

C&P is illegal.

You can create Your own derivate but only if You stick to LGPL. What You can do is to put that code in .dll/.so, so only that part need to be LGPL'ed

RTFM (RTFL! )

Why?

Please explain.

I needed a while ago to load images with alpha transparency in c++. The simplest way, without using sdl-image or other libs, was with tga.

Well you cant natively load TGA images in C++ either, you used a library for that.
In other libraries the situation might be the reverse, with support for PNG but not TGA.
Or you're saying you used libsdl, and it has native support for TGA but PNG requires sdl-image?

Either way, it does not tell anything about the merits of the file format per se.
