Excerpts:


"What Microsoft has done with the library is an open source project
called the Research Information Centre Framework. It’s a virtual
research framework, helping them manage the increasingly complex range
of tasks involved in 21st century research.

OK, where’s the catch?

    Built on top of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007,
the RIC extends the core MOSS functionality to meet the needs to
academic researchers engaged in collaborative research projects"

....
"To Microsoft open source is not an end in itself. It is a marketing
tool. It is a way to gain lock-in with important customer sets."
