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/.
