Microsoft: No Near-Term Plans to Seek Open-Source Licensing Approval | |
|
||
| Time: 08:44 EST/13:44 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: John Quigley | ||
|
While Microsoft Corp. has no current plan to apply for Open Source Initiative approval of the new licenses that will govern its Shared Source projects going forward, the Redmond, Wash., software maker has not ruled this out as a possibility going forward. As eWEEK first reported, Microsoft has cut the number of licenses it will use for its Shared Source Initiative going forward from more than 10 to just three template, or core, licenses. Several prominent Webloggers on Wednesday jumped the gun with expectations that the OSI would designate the new licenses as OSD-compliant. "The big news today at EuroOSCON is the fact that Microsoft has posted new source licenses, and a couple of them might actually be OSD [open-source-definition]-compliant!!" blogged Danese Cooper, Intel's self-professed "open-source diva" on her personal Web site. | ||
