[lug] Microsoft outlaws open source with .NET

[Ken Weinert]

Here's an excerpt:

The license for Microsoft's Mobile Internet Toolkit, which is in its
second beta release to developers, says that it may not be used with any
software under the Free Software Foundation's General Public License
(GPL) and six other forms of "potentially viral software." That language
refers to open source code's freely available and shared code licensing
agreements. The wording of the license cites the Linux OS and the Perl
scripting language as examples.
