Yeah, that's me ;-) It was not my intent because I am not really interested in licensing things... I never cared about them, and I used the GPL only because it was the first thing that came into my mind ;-) Big mistake. > I think he's going to > re-release it all under the wxWidgets license (modified LGPL). It's done... I have changed all the widgets license to the standard wxWidgets license. I hope this will work. If it is good enough for wxPython, so it is for me. Andrea.
