I would have to clarify that. What I think they meant is that the install that we distribute, is non-commercial, which it is. Let be ask, I will post the reply back to the list.

Won't the condition that the distribution be for non-commercial purposes be a problem? Commercial users would have to down a tar or zip file, or am I reading that incorrectly?

Everyone,

I took the liberty of contacting ZeroG, the makers of InstallAnywhere,
about getting a free version of their product to use for distributing
Jetspeed.  They actually seem very amenable to the idea so long as we
provide them with a quote they can use for a press release.  I have a
working installer I wrote using IzPack which open source,
http://www.izforge.com/izpack/.  However, IzPack isn't the easiest to
work with and does not really have many features which required me to
90% of the install logic using ant (which actually wasn't bad). I would
be willing to rewrite the installer using InstallAnywhere if we agree to
move forward with it.  I really don't see an issue since Apache uses
Jira, which is a commercial product that gives OS projects free use of
their product.

Thoughts?

Hello Scott:

Thank you for contacting Zero G.  We will provide you with a
complementary copy of InstallAnywhere Enterprise Edition if you will be
willing to provide a quote which Zero G can use for a press release.  We
will simply need you to agree to provide a quote, and once you have
successful deployed with InstallAnywhere, we will request the quote.
Hopefully this will be within a 90 day period.

This offer is only valid if you agree that the distribution is for
non-commercial purposes.

Regards,

Whitman

Hello,

Is there any chance ZeroG would provide a non-expiring version of
InstallAnywhere to an open source projects, similar to Jira's model?  I
am evaluating install mechanisms to distribute binary versions of Apache
Jetspeed Portal Server,  http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/.
