Re: [WiX-users] Wix Licensing revisited
I'd suggest that your boss talk to his own retained or internal counsel. It's prima facie case to me that the license of a compiler doesn't transfer to the built object code format of your IP. However, I'm not in the business, nor do I imagine the WiX team is in the business, of giving legal advice. Then again, it might be time for a new boss also. :-) From: Tobi Ha tob...@gmx.net Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 10:06 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net, wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix Licensing revisited 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. Thanks for you help.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Licensing revisited
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 own code, that's yours.
