Hello list,
I'm trying package perl-Wx-Scintilla, which has lot of problems. But at
the moment I'd like to solve license. The main package is licensed "same
as Perl". Two files are under wxWindows, which is the same as wxWidgets
license. But there is also directory under some kind of MIT.

Could you clarify it this is MIT and if I can mark it as package under
"(GPL+ or Artistic) and wxWidgets and MIT" ?
