That's not a problem since the wxWidgets license specifically contains a provision for relicensing wxPython et al. as GPL. See section 3 in the file docs/lgpl.txt . The instructions there are fairly clear. You could also do it without explicitly relicensing wxPython as GPL since the license is GPL-compatible, but this may be easier for you. As always, keep the copyright notices intact and follow the instructions in the licenses. It's also a good idea to document exactly what changes you have made and what is originally someone else's. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
