“The formal evaluation of these licenses began in August and the discussion

of these licenses was vigorous and thorough. The community raised

questions that Microsoft (and others) answered; they raised issues that, when

germane to the licenses in question, Microsoft addressed. Microsoft came to

the OSI and submitted their licenses according to the published policies and

procedures that dozens of other parties have followed over the years.

Microsoft didn't ask for special treatment, and didn't receive any.”

2. Our next goal is excellent .NET Interop

Note that this is a priority list. Given limited resources 1) trumps 2). “
