As a WiX maintainer, the Open Source Maintenance Fee provides funding for ongoing maintenance tasks that would ensure the long-term sustainability of the WiX Toolset.
Proposal
Open Source Maintenance Fee Introduction
To ensure the long-term sustainability of this project, we are introducing an Open Source Maintenance Fee. This fee is required to be paid by all consumers of the WiX Toolset project who generate revenue. You can pay via GitHub Sponsors.
We plan to enforce the maintenance fee starting with the release of WiX v6.0 on April 5th, 2025. At that time, a EULA on binary releases (including those published to GitHub and NuGet.org) requires payment of the Maintenance Fee.
Please see the Open Source Maintenance Fee for more information.
