Two Microsoft Licenses Now OSI Approved.
17 Oct 2007Am I blind, or is noone talking about this? Microsoft finally getting two approved official Open Source licenses is big news. With the approval the two licenses are being renamed:
Microsoft Permissive License (MS-PL) -> Microsoft Public License (MS-PL)
Microsoft Community License (MS-CL) -> Microsoft Reciprocal License (MS-RL)
via sburke, and now numerous other MSDN blogs now as well.
Seriously this must be being treated pretty low key, it’s certainly not being trumpeted from the towers like it should. I heard many pundits say it would never happen…
