MSFT's next gen of Shared Source Licenses

Why a law degree may be more of a prerequisite for corporate developers than a computer science degree:

Microsoft supports the right of a developer to make use of any license and highly recommends that you get appropriate legal advice regarding your choice of source code license.

At least the choice has been narrowed down to three:

• Microsoft Permissive License (Ms-PL)
• Microsoft Community License (Ms-CL)
• Microsoft Reference License (Ms-RL)
