Here's a significant thing: Tim

Here's a significant thing: Tim O'Reilly interviews David Stutz about Microsoft's "shared source" and specifically the Common Language Interpreter and C#. "Stutz: We have chosen FreeBSD because of licensing issues... The terms of the licenses will be that if you're distributing it, you're distributing it for non-commercial use".

Although Stutz says "It's really not a short-term, tactical Java battle", plainly one aspect of the whole .NET initiative, including this, is to oust Java and J2EE from their current high-rolling status as the enterprise server platform of choice.
