..is complete rubbish.
Essentially, Microsoft has made a pledge (note, not a promise!) NOT TO SUE “open source” developers who create software for “their flagship products” SO LONG AS THEY DON’T SELL IT.
If You engage in the commercial distribution or importation of software derived from an open source project or if You make or use such software outside the scope of creating such software code, You do not benefit from this promise for such distribution or for these other activities.
I’m pretty sure that will be in violation of anti-competitive laws in just about every country in the world.
Microsoft calls this promise:
The most comprehensive commitment to the promotion of interoperability in the history of the software industry.
HAHA, now that is funny. Guess they’ve never heard about a little thing called open standards and the free software movement.
