Microsoft's overtures towards open source show just how scared it is
,----[ Quote ]
| Indeed, the licence does not appear to require that the source code of
| derivative works be made available to users who receive binary copies of
| software products. So it appears that this conflicts with a major requirement
| for OSI approval, that is, the criterion that, if a derivative software work
| is distributed, the source code must be provided or made available....Open
| Source is built on trust, the positive trust of software developers that
| co-developers share common goals in each project and are not working at
| cross-purposes or trying to sabotage the community.
