<html><head></head><body>Hi,<br><br>The GPL does not say that you have to have the source of the build tools. That's just an indirect consequence of the tools themselves being under copyleft license.<br><br>What the GPL says is that each must fit at least one of the condition:<br>A) comes with OS,<br>B) is freely provided by the binary distributor,<br>C) is freely provided by a third party referred by the binary provider, while the binary is (re)licensed to GPLv3.<br><br>Now Wix does not seem to be in case A (not in Ubuntu or whatever CI OS is), nor B (notably not in extras/tools), and is definitely not in case C (Windows builds claim GPLv2).<br><br>So it can't be used.<br><br>I think it's very edgy to depend on WINE here, but Wix is clearly not OK as things stand.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Le 13 mai 2020 12:37:27 GMT+03:00, Alexandre Janniaux <ajanni@videolabs.io> a écrit :<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

If<br> they're open-source, you can recompile them. In the worst cases, you can at<br> least compile with libwine.
