The Caldera installer (Lizard) is licensed under the QPL 
http://www.openlinux.org/lizard/gpl.html

It is similar to the KDE license if it is not the same.

I still have a CVS version of the installer on my drive.

BTW, are your updates complete? If they are I want to update my local 
mirror. I still not sure where my download problems stem from, but the 
last mirror session ran for two days without a problem. Now today I am 
having problems just in getting the directory listings again. I'm 
starting to wonder if it is a problem with my ISP and not my local 
machine.
