Re: Microsoft bans open source software from Windows Marketplace

[Alex Eckelberry <AlexE () sunbelt-software com>]

Well, not exactly,  but kind of.  There is a distinction in the _type_ of open source. 

Here's the actual language:

"Excluded License" means any license requiring, as a condition of use, modification and/or
distribution of the software subject to the license, that the software or other software combined
and/or distributed with it be (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (ii) licensed for the
purpose of making derivative works; or (iii) redistributable at no charge. Excluded Licenses include,
but are not limited to the GPLv3 Licenses. For the purpose of this definition, "GPLv3 Licenses" means
the GNU General Public License version 3, the GNU Affero General Public License version 3, the GNU
Lesser General Public License version 3, and any equivalents to the foregoing.
