I have no connection with Microsoft and no influence with them either.

Some projects at codeplex.com, which is Microsoft's open-source project
hosting site, use the MS-PL (scriptdoc, e.g.) or the MS-CL (vescreensaver,
e.g.).  MS says that only projects under Open Source licenses are legal,
so at least implicitly MS treats MS-PL and MS-CL as Open Source.
