Default Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Microsoft and o

(This is a visitor post by Stephen Walli, a software program consultant specializing in open-source, along with a former Microsoft plan manager for the Shared Source implementation with the ECMA Frequent Language Infrastructure.)
Bill Hilf, Microsoft General Supervisor of Platform Strategy, announced two things final week in the O;Reilly Open Supply Conference in Portland. First Microsoft will likely be taking two of its “Shared Source” branded licenses to the Open Supply Initiative for approval as full fledged “open source” licenses. Second, they have built a web site to act as the gateway to Microsoft thinking on open supply software program.
I;m fairly ambivalent on the license announcement. Does the world genuinely need two more vanity licenses? (No) Isn;t Microsoft sort of late to the party? (Yes) Does it honestly matter if the OSI approves the licenses when they clearly meet the OSI open source definition? (No) As a global player will Microsoft update the licenses away from U.S. copyright language before submission,Office 2007 Keygen, borrowing from the lessons learned during the free software world? (One could hope, but very likely not. The legal team is too fearful.)
The web site is also a bit of an odd thing. It;s no where near as rich in information or resource as the Shared Source site with it;s deliberate ignorance of free and open supply software. It;s not as deep in materials as the old “Commercial Software program Initiative” with its (possibly willful) misunderstandings about “open supply and free software” licensing and commercial solutions. It;s not as bright and bold as the “Get the Facts” campaign. But then it;s new. Time will tell if Microsoft “gets it” and so gets the site right.
The “frost sightings” refer to something much more important that;s been building that Bill pointed to in his keynote. Microsoft is finally joining the community.

I gave Hilf a hard time a year ago over the lack of real engagement during the community. Publishing licenses, signing partnership agreements with companies, and putting up web sites is not “doing open source”. It;s all about contribution in community. We forgive IBM no end of missteps (deliberate and otherwise) because in the end with the day they contribute software program and lots of it. Hilf finally started talking about the code contributions Microsoft is making in his keynote.
Almost more important than the code, however, is the evolution with the understanding of software community. Read Lam;s (short) publish at the incredibly least. He highly clearly articulates how they will accept changes back now,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, and more importantly how they;ll get to the better place in the future.
Rob Mensching;s WiX project has been happily accepting changes back ever since it started in Spring 2004, but WiX isn;t shipping on the core revenue stream. When we released Rotor in Spring 2002, we deliberately ignored the first two incredible contributions we received within the initial 48 hours after release. Oddly enough, the community stopped contributing. It was willful on our part and we knew what the result would be, but frustrated as the Rotor team was there was no way past the concerns raised from above over IP taint at that time.
In Spring 2003, we discussed releasing the code base to Monad (the new PowerShell). The engine would be shipping on the Windows distribution,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, however, and this was immediately after the near Java injunction. If we released all the code,Office 2007 Professional, but only accepted changes outside the engine, concerns were raised that this may perhaps be too confusing coming from Microsoft. We passed up the chance. (To be clear, the Windows executive in charge seriously wanted to release it,Windows 7 Ultimate Key, but the Java injunction was too close and raw.)
Zander makes reference in his publish to the pain of releasing IronPython. I;ve great confidence in that fact. Jim Huginin joined Microsoft as I was preparing to leave. I was part of the early discussions around licensing out IronPython and Jim was inside the thick of it. It took them another year to get it out the door.
With the amount of software Developer Division is publishing as promiscuously as possible, we can only hope that the tipping point is being reached inside Microsoft when culturally they finally accept and embrace the greatest opportunity in their history to revitalize the Windows franchise.
Now we need to get Microsoft to say “free software” without gagging.
