@jwildeboer @fontana *LOL* so #Mono is excluded from Vista Phony 7? It has MS-PL in it...
about a year ago from Choqok-
@schestowitz Don't tell Miguel, coz he is still "psyched" ;-)
-
@jwildeboer It's possible MS-PL is OK. But I want to hear them say so :-) Pretty sure MS-RL is not, though.
-
@webmink I will prepare a follow-up entry tmrw that hopefully collects the fallout. I guess I just lost my last friends at MSFT ;-)
-
@jwildeboer You still had some? I had a MSFT recruiting agency call me today, clearly hadn't done their homework :-)
-
@webmink LOL :-) We'll see how friendly they are at CeBIT, I guess ...
-
@fontana My read of MS-PL makes GPL compatibility impossible, so how so?
-
@jwildeboer I just added a Nokia angle too
-
@fontana Can't so how. It's very clear that source has to stay under that license; only binaries are allowed under a compatible license.
-
@fontana If you could check http://wmk.me/eDZoCW for stupid mistakes I'd be most grateful.
-
@webmink @fontana @jwildeboer BTW, nice FUD :-s; Microsoft really calls the (x)GPL licenses an 'Exclude License'?
-
@gbraad Yep, read for yourself. Links in http://wmk.me/eDZoCW /cc @fontana @jwildeboer
-
@jwildeboer Could not expect more from a poorly informed troll. Mono is not affected, but good luck feeding the flames of ignorance! ;-)
-
@schestowitz good point; Mono also uses an 'Exclusive License' according to MS. for mono-addins or other libs could be an issue.
-
#Microsoft Bans Its Own Licenses by @webmink on @computerworlduk http://wmk.me/eDZoCW #ExcludeLic /cc: #nokmsft !Qt
-
@migueldeicaza Although Mono is not affected, how about the mono libraries and additional components? A lot is used by other projects
-
@migueldeicaza yes it is, it means that mono for windows phone needs to be free, if that's to be understood...
-
@tekk mono for windows needs to be nonfree*
-
@migueldeicaza @jwildeboer Just curious guys, what did the uninformed troll think would affect Mono?
-
@fontana Thanks. I'll go to bed and leave it alone then!
-
@tekk that isn't correct … only copyleft is excluded not BSD & other permissive licenses.
-
@gbraad @migueldeicaza and what about the rest of the ecosystem? eg kernel (nokia contributes 5x google), telepathy, gstreamer...
-
@migueldeicaza Success with your endeavors... May the source be with you!
