If Microsoft can't beat free programming languages, it appears willing to join them, as it open sources its .NET compiler for C# and Visual Basic, under the Apache 2.0 license.
The "Roslyn" compiler platform also contains code-analysis APIs that could be useful if you were trying to make, for example, code-completion or syntax-checking features in your own code-editor.
To manage this and other recently liberated projects, the .NET foundation has been launched, including "community leaders such as Miguel de Icaza (Xamarin), Laurent Bugnion (IdentityMine), Niels Hartvig (Umbraco), Nigel Sampson (Compiled Experience), Anthony van der Hoorn (Glimpse) and Paul Betts."
The inevitable victory of free and open-source as the dominant model of software development is drawing closer than ever before.

Get a brain -or at least loosen the tinfoil hat on your current one, get some reading comprehension and then you come on back again.
Or don't. If SN is simply going to indulge in the same /.-style groupthink, where any critique of the FOSS movement is considered anathema, you'll probably be talking to yourself, anyway (we've already got one slashdot).
--posting anon because I've seen this movie already...fifteen years ago...and like most remakes, it's pretty crap.
