Thanks for the shout-out, Curt!  This is a pretty proud day for us; we've been 
working on Sho for five years and are finally releasing it to the public :)  
The official web site is http://research.microsoft.com/sho

The license allows for use non-commercial purposes, which includes academic, 
personal, and internal use by a commercial entity.  You can read the whole 
license 
here<http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/bc38771b-dc48-475b-8d18-7fe87e1bc2a1/Sho%20License%20Agreement%20(2010-11-03)%20FINAL.rtf>
 , but I've copied one bit below which I think might help explain about use by 
commercial entities:

"You may use, copy, reproduce, and distribute this Software for any 
non-commercial purpose, subject to the restrictions in this Agreement. Some 
purposes which can be non-commercial are teaching, academic research, public 
demonstrations and personal experimentation. For clarity, internal use by a 
commercial entity is considered a non-commercial purpose and is permitted under 
this Agreement."

In other words, commercial entities can use Sho internally, but can't ship the 
bits externally for commercial purposes (more detail on what this means exactly 
and other aspects in the license itself).
