Microsoft Makes Its Open-Source Move

sjvn writes “Microsoft is reaching out to the open-source community. Should the community reach back?

The signs were there. Microsoft had been making nice with open source for some time now.

Has Microsoft seen the open-source light like Paul on the road to Damascus? Are Bill and Melinda Gates going to have Richard M. Stallman over for dinner? Will Eric Raymond and Ballmer go to the shooting range together?

Ah, I don’t think so.”
