[FWIW, I think this is a very good, if belated, thing.  The FSF and RMS
won't like it but they don't like anything that's not theirs.  -  jjk]


OSI approves two Microsoft shared-source licenses
By Elizabeth Montalbano, IDG News Service, 10/16/07

The Microsoft Public License (MPL) and the Microsoft Reciprocal License
(MRL), two of Microsoft's so-called "shared source" licenses, are now
viable OSI licenses for distributing open-source code alongside more
widely used community licenses such as the GNU General Public License
and the Mozilla Public License.
