It was owned by MS, but the entire .NET ecosystem has since been open-sourced and released with a permissive MIT licence. It is managed by the .NET Foundation[1].

- SeanLuke 4y agoThe MIT license is worth nothing because it does not contain a patent release. Microsoft's sword of damocles has always been in patents they held with regard to C# and .NET. Have they released this IP as well?
- fsckboy 4y agoI'm no defender of Microsoft, but haven't they said "if you don't sue them, they won't sue you type of thing"? also, that doesn't make this code or the license worth nothing.
