Technically speaking for the exact scenario you describe, you should be publishing your changes to the WixUI_InstallDir.wxs. We've discussed using a different license on source code in the WiX toolset that is intended to be copied and tweaked... just haven't done all the legal footwork necessary.
Note: this only applies to files you modify files that came from the WiX toolset. If you write the .wxs file (or whatever) yourself, it's yours. License how you see fit. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Will Saxon [mailto:saxo...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, December 29, 2014 7:52 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Clarification of licensing expectations for dialogs and UI Hello, I'm sure this has been asked before: what are my responsibilities concerning licensing of dialog and other UI .wxs files, assuming they are derivatives of dialogs/dialog sets included with the WiX source code? For example, the documentation suggests copying WixUI_InstallDir.wxs into my project and modifying it to implement a custom UI sequence or add a new dialog. If I do this, and also use an existing dialog file as a template to create a new dialog, am I supposed to license both resulting .wxs files under MS-RL and make the source of those available? I see that similar questions have been asked before, and that there is a clarification statement by Outercurve, but honestly it is not crystal clear what is OK and what is not.
