| | 1 | Preamble |
| | 2 | ======== |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | The licensing of the wxWindows library is intended to protect the wxWindows |
| | 5 | library, its developers, and its users, so that the considerable investment |
| | 6 | it represents is not abused. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Under the terms of the wxWindows Licence, you as a user are not |
| | 9 | obliged to distribute wxWindows source code with your products, if you |
| | 10 | distribute these products in binary form. However, you are prevented from |
| | 11 | restricting use of the library in source code form, or denying others the |
| | 12 | rights to use or distribute wxWindows library source code in the way |
| | 13 | intended. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and related |
| | 16 | material, and it gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or |
| | 17 | modify the library. It also asserts that no warranty is given by the authors |
| | 18 | for this or derived code. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | The core distribution of the wxWindows library contains files |
| | 21 | under two different licences: |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | - Most files are distributed under the GNU Library General Public |
| | 24 | Licence, version 2, with the special exception that you may create and |
| | 25 | distribute object code versions built from the source code or modified |
| | 26 | versions of it (even if these modified versions include code under a |
| | 27 | different licence), and distribute such binaries under your own |
| | 28 | terms. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | - Most core wxWindows manuals are made available under the "wxWindows |
| | 31 | Free Documentation Licence", which allows you to distribute modified |
| | 32 | versions of the manuals, such as versions documenting any modifications |
| | 33 | made by you in your version of the library. However, you may not restrict |
| | 34 | any third party from reincorporating your changes into the original |
| | 35 | manuals. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | Other relevant files: |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | - licence.txt: a statement that the wxWindows library is |
| | 40 | covered by the GNU Library General Public Licence, with an |
| | 41 | exception notice for binary distribution. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | - licendoc.txt: the wxWindows Documentation Licence. |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | - lgpl.txt: the text of the GNU Library General Public Licence. |
| | 46 | |
