That's good news. The blog seems to be making good noises, too. I am a
little concerned about this point:

>>Excluded Licenses ... or (b) others have the

How can others be able to look at the code, but not be able to modify
it?

>>BTW I will probably will write a letter to MS to clarify it...

If a BSD-style license like Nemerle's is OK with them, then we should
be home free.
