-wxWindows main upstream site is www.wxwindows.org
+more information about wxWindows, as well as the source these debs
+are produced from can be found at www.wxwindows.org
-wxWindows is licenced under the LGPL with a special exception for
-binary only apps produced with it. Some parts of the library (as
-compiled for Debian) might *not* include this extra exception in
-their licence. If you wish to distribute binary object code under
-terms other than those allowed by the (L)GPL (but allowed by the
-wxWindows Licence), you must first ensure all linked in code is
-subject to this exception. This package is almost certainly built
-with code licenced under terms which do not include that exception.
+Note for Debian users:
+======================
+Most of the core wxWindows library is licenced under the wxWindows Library
+Licence (included below), however some additional features of the library
+may include source licenced under terms which do not include the exception
+permitting you to licence binary object code versions of works based on the
+Library under terms of your own choice. At any time and without warning,
+newer versions of the Debian binary packages may include such code.
+
+In short, if you plan to licence apps built against these debs under terms
+compatible with the GPL or LGPL, then you have nothing to worry about. If
+you wish to release your code under a licence which does not grant all of
+the same rights as the LGPL would assert but would be permitted under the
+terms of the exception, then you are strongly advised to either check the
+licencing terms of all components that these debs (and all future versions
+that you use) are built with, or build your own binaries of wxWindows which
+include only such code as is definitely covered by the exception.
+
+You should presume that these debs will fall under the provisions of the
+unmodified LGPL unless you can prove otherwise, however this note in no way
+alters the actual terms of the authorative licence detailed below, it is
+intended to be purely informative of the fact that the Debian binary packages
+will be built primarily with features useful to Free Software developers and
+may not be suitable "as is" for compiling software for distribution that is
+licenced incompatibly with the LGPL.
+
+Modifications and additions to the Library itself are encouraged to be
+placed under the wxWindows Library Licence. We hope you find it useful.

+
+Preamble
+========
+
+The licensing of the wxWindows library is intended to protect the wxWindows
+library, its developers, and its users, so that the considerable investment
+it represents is not abused.
+
+Under the terms of the wxWindows Licence, you as a user are not
+obliged to distribute wxWindows source code with your products, if you
+distribute these products in binary form. However, you are prevented from
+restricting use of the library in source code form, or denying others the
+rights to use or distribute wxWindows library source code in the way
+intended.
+
+The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and related
+material, and it gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
+modify the library. It also asserts that no warranty is given by the authors
+for this or derived code.
+
+The core distribution of the wxWindows library contains files
+under two different licences:
+
+- Most files are distributed under the GNU Library General Public
+ Licence, version 2, with the special exception that you may create and
+ distribute object code versions built from the source code or modified
+ versions of it (even if these modified versions include code under a
+ different licence), and distribute such binaries under your own
+ terms.
+
+- Most core wxWindows manuals are made available under the "wxWindows
+ Free Documentation Licence", which allows you to distribute modified
+ versions of the manuals, such as versions documenting any modifications
+ made by you in your version of the library. However, you may not restrict
+ any third party from reincorporating your changes into the original
+ manuals.
+
