[ IzPack 2.x-3.x - Readme ] > 1 - A quick introduction < IzPack 2 is a Java software installer builder released under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2 of the licence, or any later version. It is based around an installer compiler that uses XML files to describe your installation. IzPack is totally independant from the Operating System which runs it. It is also very modular so that you can easely create and integrate your own panels (installation steps). The IzPack homepage is http://www.izforge.com/izpack/ . You can contact the author : julien@izforge.com. > 2 - The documentation < A documentation is available in the doc folder. It was generated with LaTeX under GNU-Linux. You can print a book version by modifying the izpack-doc.tex file (change the class from report to book) that is located in the src/doc folder (provided that you installed the source code). A makefile is available to compile the documentation, see the Readme file of the folder for more. > 3 - Licencing issues < The licences used by IzPack or the libraries it uses are available in the legal folder. IzPack is covered by the GNU GPL 2 and any derivative work based on it must also be covered by this licence. Generating an installer for commercial products is strongly encouraged, but distributing an installer using a panel that is not released under a free licence compatible with GNU GPL 2 is not permitted as the installer is covered by this licence. # vim: fileformat=dos
