Could one of you tech wizards on the list here tell me if this is "open" in the same sense that "shared source" is "open". Meaning, of course, a trap. I understand that the shared source initiative is legally a way of tainting developers who participate in the shared source initiative. Essentially, the programmers have to sign some sort of NDA saying that they won't disclose stuff they have learned in the shared source program, and that sets up MS with a cause of action against anyone who would later hire them on the grounds that their knowledge was derivative of MS's IP. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
