Microsoft licensed Mvp.Xml library: .Net Open Source Does Good...

Signs on the Sand: Microsoft licensed Mvp.Xml library


"On behalf of the Mvp.Xml project team our one and the only lawyer - XML MVP Daniel Cazzulino aka kzu has signed a license for Microsoft to use and distribute the Mvp.Xml library. That effectively means Microsoft can (and actually wants to) use and distribute XInclude.NET and the rest Mvp.Xml goodies in their products. Wow, I'm glad XML MVPs could come up with something so valuable than Microsoft decided to license it.

Mvp.Xml project is developed by Microsoft MVPs in XML technologies and XML Web Services worldwide. It is aimed at supplementing .NET framework functionality available through the System.Xml namespace and related namespaces such as System.Web.Services. Mvp.Xml library version 1.0 released at January 2005 includes Common, XInclude.NET and XPointer.NET modules.

As a matter of interest - Mvp.Xml is an open-source project hosted at SourceForge."

Wow, now THAT's cool! Man it's great to see a .Net project like this picked up by MS.

Time to join a project or dust off my projects... Oh.. yeah.. can't.. sigh. (grr... Due to working at one of the Final Four accounting firms, and thereby one of those "standard" IP contracts, what I think they own... [thinking bad thoughts right... now... HA. Own THAT!] LOL ;)
