I read the headline to this story having just read that MS have just brought out some new Shared Source license that are at first appearances a giant step toward their own GPL or MPL license.

Makes them seem inconsistant if it's the case.

The best part of licensing chaos is that Microsoft changes it's licenses with some regularity -- and doesn't tell you. My favorites are service packs that manage to bring along new license restrictions.

Give me open source "chaos" any time.
