Hi,

More at http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/category/4625.aspx and ;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/

It's released under the IBM Common Public License or CPL The CPL is a
'copyleft' license, just like the GPL. The main point of difference is
that the CPL has a software-patent protection clause, which the GPL does
not.

(However, Eben Moglen has indicated that this may be included in the
next version of the GPL, which would make it compatible)
