Hi:
 
Yes that one. You can even sublicense, sell use and abuse it.

	Hi:
	 
	OK it is not in sourceforge. Where is it? CVS? Another thing there is a program that is GPL for Linux search sourceforge.net it dumps content to XML and recompiles .msi from that XML I don't remember the name of the project, I'll look at home, I downloaded the sources some time ago and I have it on my ReactOS directory. 
	 
	Best Regards

	Be careful when "integrating" this, it's not GPL but CPL, CPL is incompatible
	to GPL...
	Nonetheless just using it as a build env tool should be no problem in the
	FSFs view.
