I remember listening to a recording of a conference call not very long ago, where a Microsoft employee talked about how Microsoft does not hate the concept of open source per se, they just have a business problem with the GPL.
One of the readers who posted a comment to the above linked article calls Microsoft "hypocritical, also ridiculous" for coming up with a way of circumventing GPL called "Shared Source". |
