[Wikitech-l] SOA in .NET, or Microsoft is going open source MIT style
flame war ahead For those not adicted to slashdot, see here http://news.slashdot.org/story/15/02/04/0332238/microsoft-open-sources-coreclr-the-net-execution-engine . Licenced under MIT https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/LICENSE.TXT, plus an additional patents promise https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/PATENTS.TXT. If Microsoft continues to go in the direction of the OSS as before, I suspect we just might benefit from some good quality components as individual services on a completelly open source stack. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Functionally. If you make a loud public declaration WE SHALL NOT SUE then you sue, judges *tend* to look upon it very unfavourably. YMMV of course.
