Common Public License

The CPL (Common Public License) is an open source license from IBM. Its license terms have been approved by the Open Source Initiative. The Eclipse IDE is an example of work distributed under the CPL. The CPL attempts to support and encourage collaborative open source development, while still retaining the ability to use the CPL'd content with software licensed under other licenses, including many commercial licenses.

Microsoft have released their Windows Installer XML (WiX) developer tool and Windows Template Library (WTL) under the CPL as Sourceforge projects.
