The information I based this LICENSE addition was from
wxwidgets, themselves:

http://wxwidgets.org/about/licence/

"wxWidgets is currently licenced under the "wxWindows Library Licence" pending
approval of the "wxWidgets Library Licence" which will be identical apart from
the name."

"The wxWindows Library Licence has been approved by the Open Source
Initiative."

"In August 2005, an ambiguity in Clause 2 was removed (replaced "the user's"
with "your") and the version bumped to 3.1."

Is their page incorrect?

Thank you for all your time, and consideration, Thomas Zander.
