i have no idea nor care what MS shared source is about, but about sun's
community license: i think people should at least read the license documents
and associated discussion such as richard gabriel (ummm, i can just see CLF3
beginning to seep...:) & bill joy's "sun community license principles" before
thinking about looking at the source and worrying about legal attacks and
such. [http://www.sun.com/981208/scsl/principles.html] slashdot is the
source of much FUD (slashfud?) about this...
