Preamble
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The licensing of the wxWidgets library is intended to protect the wxWidgets
|
|
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 wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets manuals are made available under the "wxWidgets
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Other relevant files:
|
|
|
|
- licence.txt: a statement that the wxWidgets library is
|
|
covered by the GNU Library General Public Licence, with an
|
|
exception notice for binary distribution.
|
|
|
|
- licendoc.txt: the wxWidgets Documentation Licence.
|
|
|
|
- lgpl.txt: the text of the GNU Library General Public Licence.
|
|
|
|
- gpl.txt: the text of the GNU General Public Licence, which is
|
|
referenced by the LGPL.
