It's based on LGPL-2, if you read the license itself: http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/licence3.txt " This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public Licence as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the Licence, or (at your option) any later version. " This means that you can also redistribute as LGPL-2+ > wxWindows Licence version is 3.1 due to "an ambiguity in Clause 2" > that was removed in 2005, so I'm going to duplicate the entry for > lpgl3 conflicts and rename it wxwidgets or wxwl-3.1 . Actually the license is called the "wxWindows Library Licence" It's a more liberal/different license than the usual LGPL, even if that mostly applies to such uses outside of ports... So you should add an entry for "wxWindows" to the allowed list. --anders _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
