I would think that the content you are installing doesn't apply as it doesn't "use" WiX code.
But if you use the WiX UI .wxs code as a template and modify it for your own needs, then you would need to make your modified .wxs source available in some way. If you wrote a C++ custom action and linked the WiX C++ helper functions then your custom action "contains" WiX code and would need to make the source code to your C++ custom action available. In both scenarios it is difficult what some of these words mean. For example, I have never felt that using a library regardless of whether it is dynamically or statically linked should be reason enough to require making the using code available but some interpretations would require it. What about generated code that was later modified? I don't feel such generated and modified code source needs to be make available but I'm sure some interpretations might also require it. I think it is important to ask these questions if only to determine the intentions of the licensors and encourage that the license be more explicit about its intentions. These things should not be determined in court after the fact. Edwin G.
