Correction, it is not actually Microsoft's license, but IBM's and was modified
to become the EPL.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The CPL might as well not exist. Hardly any projects use it.
The only thing I can think of is the Free Software Foundation's GPL
compatibility list, and I assume you already know about it.

Mozilla is using NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System)
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page
Perhaps you could use this instead?
(Actually I think we are using the Unicode version)

It's a free license. Once you release software with a free license, it's free
and anybody can use it in any way that the license permits.
As far as I understand (IANAL), you can't restrict it to installers, because
anybody can take a installer that uses it and reprogram to do anything they
want.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I like the GPL. I like to put my code under the GPL.
Someone
approaches me and asks:
We'd like you to make an exception such that we can
license the end-result binary product without being required to provide the
source code!
Well - providing the source is a very major point to why I
choose the GPL. So the exception is unacceptable.
If the two licenses in
discussion are not fully compatible (and therefore need an exception) then I'd
think you would be better off examining the exception itself and seeing if
that's acceptable.
If it is, and you are in full control of the
copyrights to the protected work, then you can easily dual license to your
hearts content.
So.... did the request identify what the exception
actually was or did they just ask for an exception without specifying why? I'd
be highly suspicious if they didn't specify the why.
