Shannon,

Just to be a little more exact, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/default.mspx">Shared Source</a> is a framework used to share code outside of the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com">company</a>. There are many different licenses used by the Shared Source Initiative. The CPL is just the latest.

This IS something totally new. Rotor isn't exactly good for anything except playing at the moment, it is far from the caliber of software that WIX is. WIX is used to build SQL Server. Rotor is used to.. um... well, nevermind.

Shared Source and Open Source are also completely different.

The main thing, though, like you said, is that they released it on SourceForge instead of their own GDNWorkspaces. Very interesting...
