Microsoft Makes Second GPLv2 Release

angry tapir writes "Microsoft has made its second release under the General Public License in two days with software for Moodle, an 'open-source course management system that teachers use to create online learning Web sites for their classes[, which] has about 30 million users in 207 countries.' It comes on the heels of Redmond contributing drivers to the Linux community. No reports as yet on dropping temperatures in hell."

    Microsoft is out to make money

    And very well they could. I can see you are not a business man because you haven't seen it.

    M$ could still have a sour taste in the mouth after the TomTom thing - I mean, they won, but with workarounds it won't matter. Even if something like this didn't hold up well in court, it would still bring plenty of negative press to GPL'd code. Probably not, but you never know.
