Apparently, if it weren’t for big evil IBM oppressing Microsoft, OOXML would have been a standard in “business as usual”. Oh, you heard me right. Go read the article. Once you’ve finished laughing, come back.
I was downloading F# this evening and, on a whim, decided to actually read the EULA. It follows the general pattern of the Microsoft Research - Shared Source License Agreement. How bad could it be, right? The vast majority of academic stuff I see released is general GPL, LGPL, CC, or BSD licensed. The general theme is always the same - do what you want, possibly with attribution, and possibly no commercial stuff. But this one is a completely different story.
