Currently, when you open the About dialog window and click through to display the license you notice that the window is resizing. It seems that this is due to the fact that portion of the license text that is written in CAPTIAL LETTERS is too wide to display.

Is there a way to make the dialog window calculate the required width before opening the dialog window? (Kind of, window.pack() in other languages.)

   I vaguely remember that wxPython has things like that. Try `.Layout()` or `.Fit()`.

   Access to that function(s) seems to be hidden by the AboutBox class. We don't control the Show() method. That's probably the price for convenience.

   I understand. If you'd like to create our own custom class for that, that's a solution.

   Probably not worth the effort.
