   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.
