SFLC: Do not rely on Microsoft's Open Specification Promise

The Software Freedom Law Center has posted a position paper on Microsoft's recently-announced "Open Specification Promise" and how it relates to free software. "In response to these requests for clarification, we publicly conclude that the OSP provides no assurance to GPL developers and that it is unsafe to rely upon the OSP for any free software implementation, whether under the GPL or another free software license."
