Microsoft's open source license meets opposition

seven7h writes: Linux.com currently has an interesting story regarding Microsoft's new license, Permissive License (Which is similar to BSD), which it is currently trying to get certified by the OSI (Open Source Initiative). What I find interesting is not just that this has received alot of critisism and opposition, but that one of the key opponents is Chris DiBona, open source programs manager for Google, Inc. Microsofts strategies of creating open source like programs (ie Shared Source) has been called into question and whether the open source industry should become associated with Microsoft. This looks like it may be something to watch as it could allow Microsoft a foot in the door into Linux/Open Source, or define a line between Linux/Open Source and Microsoft.
