| | Shared source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, the distribution of many licenses is considered an attempt to obfuscate the meaning of "Shared Source" and generate support from the free software community. | | | The first widely-distributed shared source license program is Shared Source CLI, the shared source implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure. | | | Some people see Shared Source as Microsoft's attempt to profit from the public image of goodwill and volunteer work that follows most free software and open source software projects. |

| | Generally, it means only the binaries of a computer program are distributed and the license provides no access to the program's source code, rendering modifications to the software technically impossible for practical purposes. | | | Microsoft's "shared source" initiative is a prominent example of this. | | | The term may also refer to programs whose source code is available, but under conditions that conflict with the Open Source Definition. |

| | Jason Matusow, Microsoft's Shared Source Manager, discusses the effects of the open source software model and how the benefits of this model may be applied to commercial software. | | | The strong commercialization of open source software by both traditional software vendors and open source software providers alike has moved the focal point of the debate away from the philosophical and more towards the practical. | | | As manager of the Shared Source Initiative at Microsoft Corp., Jason Matusow is responsible for working with internal and external constituencies to establish the company-wide framework for Microsoft’s global source licensing strategy. |

| | The Shared Source License distributed with IronPython 0.7 includes multiple references to the phrase "that read on." Though this phrase does appear in approx 130 patent-related found via Google*, I do not understand what it means. | | | Shared Source is predicated on a spectrum approach – licenses, technologies, and communities. | | | Your example with the ratio between users and code-tweekers of open source is a classic example of misguidedness. |

| | ONLamp.com -- Perspectives on the Shared Source Initiative |
| | Microsoft began pushing the idea of "shared source" a few years ago as a way to talk about source code sharing exercises they continue to develop in the face of open source software practices. | | | Moving along the spectrum to look at other Shared Source programs, there are more open licensing terms, easier eligibility, and more interest in taking code back into the project. | | | Both companies' primary software is open source--but they started from an open source base and grew forward, rather than starting from a closed binary product space and opening it up. |

| | Proposal for an Open Source Shared Runtime Layer |
| | Open source developers tend to be focused on evolving the particular development environment they're working on, rather than stepping back to consider the state of free software as a whole. | | | Shared foundation technology would allow developers to more easily move between environments, for example to use the most task-appropriate programming language, or to write a client-side application after learning the server-side APIs. | | | Historically, open source developers have been good at creating widely-adopted solutions that promote interoperability and code reuse, while proprietary vendors have found it difficult to solve interoperability problems because of their attachment to their own proprietary technology. |

| | The Shared Source initiative is a balanced approach that allows Microsoft to share source code with various communities while maintaining the intellectual property rights needed to support a strong software business. | | | Indeed, Shared Source is not even related to Open Source in any substantive way, because it gives its users none of the advantages they get from using real Open Source. | | | Free Software [gnu.org] is aimed at respecting a users freedom to be a usefull part of a sharing community. |

| | tecosystems: What is Shared Source? |
| | My answer to this question is actually quite simple: the term Shared Source, as people have come to understand the definition around Windows, is having a drag effect on projects released under more permissive terms. | | | That type of project, to me, is better described by the term "Open Source" than by "Shared Source." Contrast that with Windows - the aforementioned and unfortunate(?) case study for Shared Source as a whole. | | | The code there is not open, but explicitly shared with preapproved parties and institutions. |
