Note that the projects represented by these DLLs are released under the LGPL
or similar licenses. The DLLs are able to be included with wxPython because
they are not statically linked, and because end users are able to replace them
with newer or rebuilt versions if desired so long as they use compatible a
API/ABI, (for example a replacement libcairo would need to be compatible with
Cairo 1.10.2). Source code is available at their respective project pages.
