Sorry,
maybe an old question, and I have found a lot of txt files regarding it, but .......... :oops:
I made a commercial app with wx. (binary)
What piece of text license I have to include in the distribution ?

Thanks in advance.

You can include the wxWidgets licence text or point to this text on www.widgets.org.

Benedicte,
I'm confused regarding which of these:
licendoc.txt
licence.txt
preamble.txt
gpl.txt
lgpl.txt

or only one, two or.....

Regards

The one you can see in the documentation, with title "wxWindows Library Licence". I guess it is "LICENCE.TXT" in the wxWidgets install dir.

You don't HAVE to include any licenses but your own (if you wish to have that, you probably do), at least as far I know - IANAL. In fact, if you do include the wxWindows license and don't make it very clear that this is for the used library, it might mean that your application is under the wxWindow license, which can be a big problem if it in fact is not.
