I know, it’s shocking, an freetard publication that’s intentionally misleading?

“One thing is extremely obvious,” Wildeboer claims in a post to his personal blog. “Microsoft wants to keep its platform clear of Free Software. Period.”

The article claims that Microsoft is forbidding all open source from the Windows Marketplace. It turns out they’re only warry about GPL code due to its (ironically) restrictive nature. BSD and other more liberal licenses are allowed.

Period!

And ironically, it’s the freetards that want it this way. Just look at what happened to the VLC port to iOS – http://www.tuaw.com/2011/01/08/vlc-app-removed-from-app-store/

I should add, read the comments on the later pages. Half of it is “thank you Reme for protecting our freedom!” even though no such freedom was ever threatened.

Too bad most .NET OSS is either 2-clause BSD or Ms-PL. Even Ms-RL (which is slightly exclusive, thus not allowed) is a rare case already.

IRONY: Ms-LPL is allowed.

Basically freetards will complain about anything, and the ultimate reason is “M$ is making money and I’m not.”
