Singularity and the MSR-LA
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Slashdot is running an article about how Singularity is now Open Source, and I’m surprised to see that, of all places, Slashdot missed the obvious point.
Return to the “sharing is caring” MSR-LA (before it was the MSR-SSLA or something like that):
4. That Microsoft is granted back, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, and sub-licensable license to, for any purpose, reproduce, publicly perform or display, install, use, modify, distribute, make and have made, sell and transfer modifications to and/or derivative works of the Software source code or data that you provide to Microsoft through the CodePlex tool or otherwise make directly available to Microsoft.
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. The polite “share-alike” continues.
Of course, if you want to, say, try out one that isn’t an assrape in disguise and runs actual applications, jump over to JNode. No promises, but using this one won’t require you to sleep on your stomach for weeks afterwards.
