Microsoft .NET Libraries go "Closed Source" again
,----[ Quote ]
| figleaf writes "Three years ago, with much
| fanfare Microsoft announced it will make some

| Microsoft Reference License. Since then
| Microsoft has reneged on its promise. The
| reference code site is dead, the blog is no
| longer updated and no one from Microsoft
| responds to any questions on the forum."

Microsoft fails to open source Windows 7 USB tool
,----[ Quote ]
| A posting on Microsoft's Port 25 blog last
| week revealed that the company had failed
| to release the code of the Windows 7
| USB/DVD Download Tool. Microsoft had
| admitted that the tool contained code from
| a GPL licensed application, ImageMaster,
| which was hosted on Microsoft's CodePlex
| project hosting site. Peter Galli,
| Microsoft's Open Source Community Manager,
| said "While we worked extremely hard to
| try and get the code ready for release by
| today, we still need to test and localise
| it". The plan is now to release the code
| "in the next few weeks".
