Files
-----
linked against LGPL library. Basically you should link dynamicaly and
include source code of LGPL libraries with your product (unless it is
already present in user's system - like glibc usually is).
-
If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix only), wxWindows library will
contain iODBC library which is covered by LGPL.
+If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT
+for libtiff license details.
+
+If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program should
+contain following sentence: "This software is based in part on the work of
+the Independent JPEG Group". See src/jpeg/README for details.
