MS eases up on 'gimme all Your Stuff' community license | |
|
||
| Time: 10:29 EST/15:29 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft Corp has re-worked a controversial license for a .NET developers' hosted community, after concern the company granted itself wide-ranging rights over developers' code. Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft has apparently loosened the terms under which ISVs post code to GotDotNet Workspaces, granting all community users rights over intellectual property for an estimated 1,500 .NET applications and projects. | ||

It took the Register and /. about a month to find this story.
Activewin had it on the first day! :) |

| When did the license change occur? |
| #3 By 135 (209.180.28.6) at 10/17/2002 5:53:01 PM |
| Workspace was announced 9/16... the license was updated 9/20. |

| I guess Microsoft can respond to customer feedback. They surely got a good amount of feedback from those on this site. |

| Glad to help. Make sure to keep visiting and feel free to post a bit more often. ;-) |

| Have you read the license, Richard? OK, so why don't you not draw any conclusions until you have done so. |
| #7 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 10/19/2002 7:55:30 PM |
| Explain? You are drawing conclusions without any facts. The Register, in my opinion, is not a source for facts. If you haven't read the license itself, but rely on a rediculously biased source like the Register, then you are drawing conclusions not based on facts. My point was, you should read the license, then draw conclusions based on that. |
