winget package about wxformbuilder HOT 6 OPEN

Of course it would be nice to have wxFB available on whatever package manager there is, but there are just too many and i simply don't have the ressources to support them.

from wxformbuilder.

I tried to publish one, and got these noticeable things in the agreements

from wxformbuilder.

The installer gets taken directly from wxFB's GitHub, targeting x64 architecture for now (first time making these)

from wxformbuilder.

Policies about packages to be submitted: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/windows-package-manager-policies

from wxformbuilder.

I am not sure what is the question here? You are trying to add wxFB to winget and have to sign a CLA for this?

I did only a quick look at how winget works, but it looks like in constrast to Flathub, third parties can add packages because all what winget stores is basically the installer? Since wxFB is GPL software and you didn't modify it at all, there should be no legal issue to add it to winget. However, i don't know how that CLA works and what boxes you need to tick there.

Yes, I have to sign the CLA when I make a PR there. The policies allow wxFB to have things like wxWidgets and plugins (as far as I understand the policy)

1.2.3
The Product may contain fully integrated middleware (such as third-party cross-platform engines and third-party analytics services).

The Product may depend on non-integrated software (such as another Product, module, or service) to deliver its primary functionality.

Same as you, I don't quite understand CLA so I captured parts of the CLA and sent them here. Expect someone to help.

This is the first time I actually care and discover about these license stuff.
