The folks at Forbes are about to have their little minds blown Posted Oct 19, 2005 20:12 UTC (Wed) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] It remains to be seen whether they actually release anything under these licenses, or whether they release anything interesting under them. I wouldn't be too surprised if they released some stuff they no longer what to deal with under the PL or CL one, to reduce worries about what will happen to your data when Microsoft decides to discard the only software that can read it.
Since MS no longer want to deal with Win98SE... Posted Oct 20, 2005 2:05 UTC (Thu) by leonbrooks (guest, #1494) [Link] ...I look forward to solving many mysteries when it's released under an MS-CopyLeft licence soon. (-:

Who knows what peoplemay still have hanging around on ancient floppies, written with archaic DOS-based programs that now can't be run?
