Interesting Microsoft license clause re open source

[Danese Cooper]

Its interesting to me that no one has commented on the SCSL in the list of 
"open source" licenses listed as "viral" by M$.  Actually the SCSL is 
NOT open source (never has been) and is more similar to M$'s own 
"shared source" program (which Sun sees as a "me too" first step on 
M$ part to distribute source code).  Are they saying that they are 
uncomfortable with their own creation (Shared Source)?  Kinda seems 
that way.
