You're meant to fill in the licence actually used by the software here.

Looking at the website, it seems to be under the "wxWindows license".

I seem to be the only active member of the wxwidgets maintainers team
currently, and I'm sorry but I already have plenty on my plate with

If you just need a sponsor for wxpdfdoc and can't find one elsewhere,
let me know and I can try to help.
