(slashdot, and others:) " Microsoft's New Permissive License [...]"

[Joshua Zeidner]

  Why not just take the stance that many others have: to look at all things
that come from Microsoft with utmost suspicion.  Case in point: Mono.  In my
view, if you are playing the role of a developer you would have to have the
attention span of a goldfish* to not be at least somewhat suspicious of
Microsoft's intentions.  oh an btw- please see Godwin's Law.  Im not sure if
Mussolini is covered under GW.
