||
4 | |||
5 | IzPack 2 is a Java software installer builder released under the terms of |
||
6 | the GNU GPL version 2 of the licence, or any later version. It is based around |
||
7 | an installer compiler that uses XML files to describe your installation. |
||
8 | IzPack is totally independant from the Operating System which runs it. It is |
||
9 | also very modular so that you can easely create and integrate your own panels |
||
10 | (installation steps). |
||
11 | |||
12 | The IzPack homepage is http://www.izforge.com/izpack/ . You can contact the |
||
13 | author : julien@izforge.com. |

15 | > 2 - The documentation < |
||
16 | |||
17 | A documentation is available in the doc folder. It was generated with |
||
18 | LaTeX under GNU-Linux. You can print a book version by modifying the |
||
19 | izpack-doc.tex file (change the class from report to book) that is located in |
||
20 | the src/doc folder (provided that you installed the source code). A makefile |
||
21 | is available to compile the documentation, see the Readme file of the folder |
||
22 | for more. |
||
23 | |||
24 | > 3 - Licencing issues < |
||
25 | |||
26 | The licences used by IzPack or the libraries it uses are available in the |
||
27 | legal folder. IzPack is covered by the GNU GPL 2 and any derivative work based |
||
28 | on it must also be covered by this licence. |
||
29 | |||
30 | Generating an installer for commercial products is strongly encouraged, but |
||
31 | distributing an installer using a panel that is not released under a free |
||
32 | licence compatible with GNU GPL 2 is not permitted as the installer is covered |
||
33 | by this licence. |
