Hello, Thomas, I'm not an attorney either. :-) I'm [now] also inclined to lean toward LICENSE_COMBO. I'll have to re-examine Mk/bsd.licenses.db again. But [as to LICENSE_COMBO] I don't think it includes wxWidgets. So I'll probably need to modify this, to better suit it's intention. Thanks for all your time on this, Thomas. --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
