  Can Windows and Open Source Learn to Play Nice?
Time: 00:06 EST/05:06 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft has been reaching out to the open-source community to try to find ways to overcome the incompatibilities between software distributed under the GNU General Public License and its own commercial software.

"Open source is a way of building software and, in its most basic sense, there is nothing incompatible [between] the concept of open source and commercial software.

"But the GPL has an inherent incompatibility that is, to my knowledge, impossible to overcome," Bob Muglia, the senior vice president of Microsoft's server and tools business, told eWEEK in an interview here at Microsoft's annual TechEd developer conference on June 12.
