OT: Reasons why few takers on MS "Open Source"

[Kent West]

I understand that one of the the reasons that Microsoft's "Open Source" program has had few takers is because Microsoft's license is "viral" (to borrow MS's term for the GPL); once you see their code, there's a risk that any code you develop thereafter could be "tainted".

Does anyone have any links to more info to this effect, or have any opinions? I've basically told someone the above, and now need to document it somewhat.

Thanks!

Kent
