How lovely to see Bill Gates getting back to his open source roots.

Hi,
Looking further, it appears that there is a whole website/blog dedicated to 
Opensource at M$ called Port25 (http://port25.technet.com). Theres even a guy  
called garrett serack who heads it.
Here's his announcement:

great news - interesting to see whether:

1. if the licenses are returned for rectification, whether MS will  
rectify them
2. if either or both are approved what will happen

In any case it is good to see MS recognising the authority of OSI in  
this field.

[ilugd] MS submitting licenses for OSI approval

2007-07-30 Thread Raj Mathur
What do you folks think of this?  MS is planning to submit 2 licenses to 
the OSI for approval as Open Source licences.  Tim O'Reilly has blogged 
about it:

  http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/07/microsoft_to_su_1.html

IMO the comments are as interesting (if not more interesting) than the 
original blog entry :)
