> Microsoft works with thousands of vendors every year. There are lots of different terms under which they license software. This is a cart before the horse thing. How MS licenses software in the past has no bearing on adding a new open source license. The only time this would be a problem is distributing 3rd party source code. Which, AFAIK (and this is windows we are talking about) pretty much only happens in the drivers. Windows CE didn't come bundled with steam or really hardly anything. That was sort of the point of CE is it had almost nothing on it.
