Please don't throw around the word "lie" unless you can really prove that Hilf is **knowingly** making wrongful statements. He may be incorrect in his statement, but that does not make it a lie and it should not be called such. As for me, I'm more than willing for Microsoft to call its licenses "Shared Source" to distinguish them from OSI-approved licenses. Whether or not it confuses, well, that's in the eye of the beholder. The folks at the FSF object to the term Open Source as muddying the water with Free Software. As long as Microsoft is not willfully portraying non-OSI-approved licenses as Open Source, I have no quarrel with them. If the term "Open Source" has any meaning in the market place, then it will be obvious that "Shared Source" is different. If Open Source has not distinguished itself as a "brand" in the market, then shame on us.
In short, please drop your faux moralistic tone. It's really annoying.
