 Specifying a {\it maxcount} of $0$ actually makes wxSemaphore behave as if
-there is no upper limit. If maxcount is $1$, the semaphore behaves exactly as a
-mutex.
+there is no upper limit. If maxcount is $1$, the semaphore behaves almost as a
+mutex (but unlike a mutex it can be released by a thread different from the one
+which acquired it).
 
 {\it initialcount} is the initial value of the semaphore which must be between
 $0$ and {\it maxcount} (if it is not set to $0$).
