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.
