That’s one small plug-in for Moodle, one giant leap for Microsoft

As Galadriel said – the world has changed. Just day after Microsoft submitted driver source code for inclusion in the Linux kernel under GNU/GPL license, they have released Microsoft Live Services Plug-in for Moodle – again under GNU/GPL. It seems to me that the Moodle worldwide popularity together with the strict conditions ruled by GNU/GPL forced the software gigant to the next step on their relationships with the open-source movement. NetworkWorld.com comes with a nice overview of Microsoft/open-source milestones (including their patch to ADOdb library for PHP).
