| 7 | Note for Debian users: |
| 8 | ====================== |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Most of the core wxWindows library is licenced under the wxWindows Library |
| 11 | Licence (included below), however some additional features of the library |
| 12 | may include source licenced under terms which do not include the exception |
| 13 | permitting you to licence binary object code versions of works based on the |
| 14 | Library under terms of your own choice. At any time and without warning, |
| 15 | newer versions of the Debian binary packages may include such code. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | In short, if you plan to licence apps built against these debs under terms |
| 18 | compatible with the GPL or LGPL, then you have nothing to worry about. If |
| 19 | you wish to release your code under a licence which does not grant all of |
| 20 | the same rights as the LGPL would assert but would be permitted under the |
| 21 | terms of the exception, then you are strongly advised to either check the |
| 22 | licencing terms of all components that these debs (and all future versions |
| 23 | that you use) are built with, or build your own binaries of wxWindows which |
| 24 | include only such code as is definitely covered by the exception. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | You should presume that these debs will fall under the provisions of the |
| 27 | unmodified LGPL unless you can prove otherwise, however this note in no way |
| 28 | alters the actual terms of the authorative licence detailed below, it is |
| 29 | intended to be purely informative of the fact that the Debian binary packages |
| 30 | will be built primarily with features useful to Free Software developers and |
| 31 | may not be suitable "as is" for compiling software for distribution that is |
| 32 | licenced incompatibly with the LGPL. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Modifications and additions to the Library itself are encouraged to be |
| 35 | placed under the wxWindows Library Licence. We hope you find it useful. |

| 41 | Preamble |
| 42 | ======== |
| 43 | |
| 44 | The licensing of the wxWindows library is intended to protect the wxWindows |
| 45 | library, its developers, and its users, so that the considerable investment |
| 46 | it represents is not abused. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Under the terms of the wxWindows Licence, you as a user are not |
| 49 | obliged to distribute wxWindows source code with your products, if you |
| 50 | distribute these products in binary form. However, you are prevented from |
| 51 | restricting use of the library in source code form, or denying others the |
| 52 | rights to use or distribute wxWindows library source code in the way |
| 53 | intended. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and related |
| 56 | material, and it gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or |
| 57 | modify the library. It also asserts that no warranty is given by the authors |
| 58 | for this or derived code. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | The core distribution of the wxWindows library contains files |
| 61 | under 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. |
| 76 | |
