> Now that the wxWidgets AGG device is removed are there any other AGG dependencies? I ask because AGG 2.5 has been released with a GPL licence istead of the previous more permissive BSD licence. This means that any version of Plplot built with AGG 2.5 must use the GPL licence, not the LGPL licence. I don't know if we need to make this clear anywhere? Hi Phil: The only AGG dependency left is for the -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON case. I think we will likely want to support that case for at least one more release since my understanding is there are still some important wxwidgets issues that you are working on for the default -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=OFF case. But however the decision goes about exactly what release we decide to retire the -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON case, it is pretty obvious that retirement will be relatively soon so I don't think we need to worry that much about AGG 2.5 licensing issues.
