Btw, putting two parts of our thread in closer context make me wonder something
aloud:
I wonder if/when a major setup vendor will come along and grab WixCA and use
it in their own install solutions.
In otherwords, not adopt WiX/Candle/Light, but instead include the custom
tables and CA DLL's into their own authoring solution as external
quaisi-standard actions.
On one hand I would think the CPL would allow this, but I can't help wonder
what the reaction would be considering the uproar InstallAware received. From
a technicial perspective this would seem to be a good thing to me.

Im certainly not trying to imply that all custom actions are evil, but a
significant amount of time and effort have gone into the built-in Microsoft
custom actions, and the ones so far included in WiX to minimize the risk of
problems.
I personally have never suggested iexpress as a bootstrapper (mostly because
I do not know the license status for it). I suspect that those who have may
believe that since it was deployed in the IE6 Administration Kit they can use
it freely. (They may even be right, or like you also have InstallShield
licenses!) Yes, IMHO if you are using it without any necessary license it is
indeed piracy and should not be condoned.
