this morning microsoft announced that it will be releasing shared
source implementations of the .net common language infrastructure (cli),
c# compiler, and ecmascript compiler for both windows and freebsd.
the license will be considerably more liberal than the shared source
license previously announced for windows. availability is expected
in the fourth quarter.
tim oreillys exclusive interview with dave stutz, the group program
manager for the project, has just been published on the oreilly
network, and i thought you would be interested.
microsoft plans shared source .net

the shared source license will allow developers to use the .net cli,
c# compiler and ecmascript compiler source code for unlimited
noncommercial use; commercial re-implementations will reportedly not
be tainted by studying the sample source code. "microsoft is really
serious about establishing .net and c# as the foundation for the
next generation of web services," said oreilly. "while we havent
actually seen the actual license yet, they are saying that they
believe that making source available on more generous terms than
theyve previously offered will help them to do that."
