Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source"

Posted by kdawson on from the promises-broken-or-forgotten dept.

figleaf writes "Three years ago, with much fanfare, Microsoft announced it would make some of the .Net libraries open source using the Microsoft Reference License. Since then Microsoft has reneged on its promise. The reference code site is dead, the blog hasn't been updated in a year and a half, and no one from Microsoft responds to questions on the forum."

    But you do actually get your source releases, right? Like, it might not be on the timeframe you want, but you get them?

    And not just the GPL stuff, but also all the BSD stuff? Including the kernel code?

    Fucking Slashcocks and their mindless self-entitled whining.
