Don't get me wrong I totally understand, I was just trying to understand how
the process worked.

Well, the theory is that by following legal guidance now we save ourselves
significant amount of pain later. Having to shutdown the WiX toolset because
of a patent infringement (which seems to be the worst case these days) would
seriously affect everyone's productivity. How would you like to receive the
notice, "You product uses the WiX toolset, a patent infringement has been found
in the code. Please send us $1,000,000 every 6 months or join us in court
where we will sue you out of business." or something like that?
Anyway, yeah, it's all overhead but it keeps the project in business so I keep
up with it. The alternative (not being allowed to participate in the project)
isn't acceptable for me.

Legal stuff != productivity :-)
Two repositories would explain the delay between code fixes and them appearing
in CVS. It would be nice to get to see changes earlier but I guess you have
enough to do without adding to it.

No, there are two masters CVS and a source control system inside Microsoft.
This is required because other Microsoft employees are not allowed to work
against the Open Source code. I'm responsible for integrating the changes made
by Microsoft employees across to CVS and I'm responsible for incorporating
changes made by non-Microsoft employees into CVS only after an assignment
agreement is signed. Basically, I'm a "desired bottleneck" by Microsoft legal.
Fun.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX CVS Source
On other open source projects I have worked on the source code is updated when
bugs are fixed. This gives you the opportunity to see the changes and build the
code if you need to work with them or validate them. With WiX this doesn't seem
to be the case, the source is not updated until the next release or sometimes
after the release.
I assume this is because the CVS source is not the main repository but a clone
of it. Would it be possible to either update CVS as changes are made or make
CVS the master?
