On Monday, April 5, 2004, as part of the Shared Source Initiative,
Microsoft released the source code for the Windows Installer XML (WiX)
developer tool to SourceForge under the IBM Common Public License or
CPL. The WiX project is the first Shared Source Initiative to go
"public" on Source Forge rather than a Microsoft site. It is also the
first to use an externally created Open Source license. Microsoft
supports the idea that a software developer should be free to choose how
they license their work and for the goals of WiX, the CPL was the right
fit.
