That's interesting. I also work for a very large software company and we have a highly formal process for evaluating tools with a group of people that study these things in extreme detail and while I did have to jump through some compliance hoops ( for example we did Fortify security scans and I had to track down any false positives with the help of Rob to justify the alerts ) nobody made any such statement about the EULA. I'm suspecting the person who made this decision is misinformed but unless we know there exact complaints it's hard to address them.

Of course I just spent the last 2 months porting a horrific InstallShield installer to WIX... Is there any chance this license will ever get updated to a more recent open source license (CPL is sooo 2001). Or is there any way for me to purchase WIX under a different license? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
