Microsoft submits two licenses for OSI approval
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft has submitted two of its Shared Source licenses to the Open Source Initiative for review and approval as open-source licenses: the Microsoft Permissive and Microsoft Community licenses.
The Redmond, Wash., software company did not submit the Microsoft Reference, Microsoft Limited Permissive or the Microsoft Limited Community licenses to the OSI for review.
The move comes more than two weeks after Bill Hilf, Microsoft's general manager of platform strategy, used his keynote address at the annual O'Reilly Open Source Conference in Portland, Ore., to announce its licensing plans.
