Dear Chris,

http://blogs.technet.com/openchoice/archive/2007/10/17/shared-source-aprovado-pela-open-source-initiative.aspx

The real motivation for the two "open source" licenses Microsoft got through OSI has just came up.

As many feared, they are trying to further dillute the "open source" term by now claiming "shared source" to have been approved by OSI.

I hope you can take this to license-discuss at opensource.org as I don't subscribe it.

Best,
Rui
