 In the latest wingrass installers if you do help-> about grass gis you get
 a window with License >> and Developers >> buttons. they expand but do not
 have scrollable boxes so you only see the first few lines of text.

Comment:

 I've downloaded Grass 6.4.0 form SVN
 (grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2009_05_23.tar.gz) and was able to reprodice
 the bug. I found out there's no way (AFAIK) to add scrollbars to
 wx.AboutBox, so i solved the bug by adding two new menu items, "GRASS GIS
 Authors" and "GRASS GIS License" and somewhat modified the original about
 box.

 modified files are:
 * gui/wxpython/wxgui.py
 * gui/wxpython/xml/menudata.xml

 ... oh yeah, I'll mention that the old setup works perfectly in latest
 Linux devbr6 (opens new popup window), it's only on MS-Windows where the
 expansion breaks.

 It's not so easy, you need write access to SVN first [1]. Good start is to
 attach diffs against selected SVN branch, it will simplify life of
 developers...

 It's seems to me that you are reporting another bug - missing COPYING file
 in your installation (which is critical issue).

 > Why not just make this an HTML file and have it open like the rest of

 Do you mean "about window"? Why not use the default widget which is
 provided by wxPython library?

Comment (by cmbarton):

 Fixed in develbranch_6 r39300. The AboutBox dialog is too small for all
 the GRASS information and you can't add scrollbars. So I've made this a
 tabbed notebook that visually matches the rest of the interface. Please
 test. If it works on other platforms (Linux and Windows), I'll backport to
 releasebranch and trunk.

Comment:

 Backported to releasebranch and trunk.

 Changing to compiling because the requisite files have not been getting
 into the compiled binaries in Windows and Mac. Once the files (AUTHORS,
 COPYING, GPL.TXT, etc.) get copied into the binaries correctly, they will
 also display in full.

 > Backported to releasebranch and trunk.

 I'm not too crazy about the aesthetics of the fix (tabs come out on a dark
 grey background for me), but it solves the main problem and I don't have
 any better ideas to offer.

 > Changing to compiling because the requisite files have not been

 does 'g.version -c' display the GPL message and project contact details on
 Mac ??? The Makefile should be copying that stuff into $(ETC), not the
 packager.

 Replying to [comment:9 cmbarton]:
 > Fixed in develbranch_6 r39300. The AboutBox dialog is too small for all
 the GRASS information and you can't add scrollbars. So I've made this a
 tabbed notebook that visually matches the rest of the interface. Please
 test. If it works on other platforms (Linux and Windows), I'll backport to
 releasebranch and trunk.

 I am no happy with this change. I would really incline to use *standard*
 dialogs as much as possible. I hope that the reported bug can be fixed
 without removing {{{wx.AboutDialog}}}.

Comment (by cmbarton):

 There are 2 things. The worst bug is that the needed files are/were not
 being copied into the binaries by the makefile. William says he has fixed
 this on the Mac (I haven't yet tested) but I saw comments on the same
 issue in Windows today.

 The 2nd thing is that the information in the files (AUTHOR, COPYING, etc)
 is too big to go into a standard AboutDialog. It is cut off and there is
 no way to add scroll bars to the AboutDialog. Even with the new menu
 buttons, it is still too big (the AUTHORS and GPL.TXT files are several
 screen pages long). So this just won't fit into a standard AboutDialog and
 we have to do something custom in any case. I thought the flatnotebook at
 least matches the rest of the interface, but if someone wants to try
 another kind of control that's OK. However, any control used for this
 information will need scrollbars at the least and it would be better to
 break the information up into its natural chunks (represented by the files
 in $GISBASE).

 I'd recommend either changing this to closed or at least to enhancement
 rather than defect once the Makefiles are fixed on Mac and Windows.
