FSF о Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL) отзвается весьма нелестно, о чём автор статьи как-то не упомянул: This is a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GNU GPL. It is incompatible with version 2 of the GNU GPL because of the conditions in sections 3(B) and 3(C).
PLEASE DO NOT USE this license for anything you write; there are already well-known free software licenses that serve the same purpose, such as the Apache License version 2.0, and we must all stand together to combat license proliferation. However, there is no reason to avoid using software released under this license.
