Hi, assuming I want to write aclosed source program and publich it using this library. Am I allowed to do so license wise? Especially with the license of wxWidgets?

dontpanic92 commented 6 years ago

In my understanding, Yes. The license that wxWidgets uses is a modified version of LGPL - the modification is that you are allowed to distribute the binary when wxWidgets is linked as a static lib (and even when you modified it).

  1. The exception is that you may use, copy, link, modify and distribute under your own terms, binary object code versions of works based on the Library.

And of course, so does wxGo.

Thank you very much for the answer and of course this lib. :-)
