If you have a concern about the contribution agreement with the CodePlex Foundation, then raise your concern with them and have them pay their lawyers to address it. Having set up the legal processes for the CodePlex Foundation myself, I know that (a) they should be willing to do so, and (b) they h

2010-05-20 Thread Mark Stone
I have been looking at Odata a fair amount in my "day job" as a good example of Microsoft trying to do the right thing on the ever-more-important issue of open data. And it isn't just a Microsoft thing; check out Netflix's ue of Odata (more PoC than anything else, but still). Having said that,

This looks like something we ought to be paying attention to, and have an opinion on. I haven't dug into the details yet, having just stumbled across this story, but it has some clear similarities to CoApp, and if its part of BizSpark then it has some degree of backing from Microsoft: http://mashab
