wxWindows Software Foundation Licensing Policy Statement |
Contributions to the wxWidgets are currently licensed under the wxWidgets Library Licence, Version 3. The formation of the wxWidgets Foundation does not change this; the Board wishes to reaffirm its commitment to this licensing plan.
The Board intends to continue the current licensing policy. At the same time, the Board acknowledges that unforeseeable changes and future events could cause a need to revise licensing policy to reflect changed reality, and the Foundation has the right to license the wxWidgets code under different licenses or to allow additional, different licensing models. The Board does not currently know of any such events, but cannot rule out the possibility. Any change in licensing policy will abide by the following requirements:
The Board recognizes that the success and vitality of the wxWidgets project is due to the dedication and commitment of the development community. It is the Board's responsibility to develop and maintain the trust of that community through its stewardship of the project. The Board will approach licensing and all other issues with this responsibility in mind.
