7Note for Debian users:

10Most of the core wxWindows library is licenced under the wxWindows Library
11Licence (included below), however some additional features of the library
12may include source licenced under terms which do not include the exception
13permitting you to licence binary object code versions of works based on the
14Library under terms of your own choice. At any time and without warning,
15newer versions of the Debian binary packages may include such code.
16
17In short, if you plan to licence apps built against these debs under terms
18compatible with the GPL or LGPL, then you have nothing to worry about. If
19you wish to release your code under a licence which does not grant all of
20the same rights as the LGPL would assert but would be permitted under the
21terms of the exception, then you are strongly advised to either check the
22licencing terms of all components that these debs (and all future versions
23that you use) are built with, or build your own binaries of wxWindows which
24include only such code as is definitely covered by the exception.
25
26You should presume that these debs will fall under the provisions of the
27unmodified LGPL unless you can prove otherwise, however this note in no way
28alters the actual terms of the authorative licence detailed below, it is
29intended to be purely informative of the fact that the Debian binary packages
30will be built primarily with features useful to Free Software developers and
31may not be suitable "as is" for compiling software for distribution that is
32licenced incompatibly with the LGPL.
33
34Modifications and additions to the Library itself are encouraged to be
35placed under the wxWindows Library Licence. We hope you find it useful.

41Preamble
42========
43
44The licensing of the wxWindows library is intended to protect the wxWindows
45library, its developers, and its users, so that the considerable investment
46it represents is not abused.
47
48Under the terms of the wxWindows Licence, you as a user are not
49obliged to distribute wxWindows source code with your products, if you
50distribute these products in binary form. However, you are prevented from
51restricting use of the library in source code form, or denying others the
52rights to use or distribute wxWindows library source code in the way
53intended.
54
55The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and related
56material, and it gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
57modify the library. It also asserts that no warranty is given by the authors
58for this or derived code.
59
60The core distribution of the wxWindows library contains files
61under two different licences:
62
63- Most files are distributed under the GNU Library General Public
64 Licence, version 2, with the special exception that you may create and
65 distribute object code versions built from the source code or modified
66 versions of it (even if these modified versions include code under a
67 different licence), and distribute such binaries under your own
68 terms.
69
70- Most core wxWindows manuals are made available under the "wxWindows
71 Free Documentation Licence", which allows you to distribute modified
72 versions of the manuals, such as versions documenting any modifications
73 made by you in your version of the library. However, you may not restrict
74 any third party from reincorporating your changes into the original
75 manuals.
