 I'm [obviously] not a lawyer and my answer is oversimplified anyhow, but
basically it boils down to:

1. If you don't modify wxWidgets itself, there are no restrictions, in
   particular there is no requirement to link with it dynamically unlike
   with LGPL libraries

2. If you do modify it, you're strongly encouraged to contribute your
   changes back to the community but unless wxWidgets is an important
   part of your product (e.g. instead of using it as a library in your
   application, you commercialize your modified version of wxWidgets
   itself) it's still not a legal requirement.

3. We do appreciate if you mention that your application uses wxWidgets
   but, again, unlike e.g. BSD licence, it's not a legal requirement.
