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. <smile/>
I'd like to understand better the root issue here. It is theoretically possible for WiX to change the license but I'd have to get Microsoft legal to help through the process. Feel free to contact me off list if this isn't something you can get your legal team talking about here. <smile/> On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 12:20 PM, James Poole <w...@slowcommotion.com> wrote: > 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.
