Of course, any use of a WiX extension or Burn includes code licensed
under the CPL...
I am not a lawyer so my comments cannot provide you legal advice but my
legally uneducated understanding of the license is that the output of the
tools is not OSS.
Our *intention* is that if you change the code in our repository, that
needs to be released (back to us hopefully). If you create your
ess, of giving legal
advice.
Then again, it might be time for a new boss also. :-)

Hello every one and WiX Team,
my boss want's to know the following regarding the CPL WiX is lecensed under:
Are outputs of WiX tools, e.g. msi files, under CPL or another OSS license?
I for myself believe not, but my boss likes to get a statement from the WiX
team, so please answer my question.
Strange. We (Microsoft lawyers, actually) picked the CPL because it wasn't
too restrictive. Licenses aren't like software. You can't just upgrade them
because they are old.
I'd like to understand better the root issue here. It is theoretically
possible for WiX to change the license but I'd have t
ndows Installer XML toolset.

I just sat through a meeting at my employer for the last 3 months (a
significantly large software company) who told me the CPL license WIX is
released under was too restrictive to allow me to use it as a development
tool. Of course I just spent the last 2 months porting a horrific
