</span>If you just look at the installer - not really ;)<br>
<br>
The installer is just a fork of the cygwin installer with some adaptions and<br>
"rebranding" - so it's GPL2 (COPYING is included).<br>
<br>
But the real work is in the packages anyway.<br>
<a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/PackagingInstructions" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/<wbr>osgeo4w/wiki/<wbr>PackagingInstructions</a> describes what's<br>
necessary to make them and how and where to upload them. They are at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://download.osgeo.org/<wbr>osgeo4w/</a><arch>/release/...<br>
<br>
Most packages consists of a .tar.bz2 with the binaries to install, a<br>
-src.tar.bz2 that has the build recipe (that usually has a pointer where to get<br>
the actual source, not the source itself) and a .txt that has the license.<br>

</span>The developer section on the front page describes the ways around packaging -<br>
kind of implies openess for contribution.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please let me know whether if the page can be published on wordpress or should<br>
be removed...<br>
