While some open-source backers were upbeat about Microsoft's streamlined Shared Source licenses, announced on Wednesday, they might have been a little too jubilant. Microsoft officials repeated that they are holding off from seeking OSI approval of its new licenses for a variety of reasons. Representatives from the Redmond software vendor did meet with "a quorum" of the OSI board to obtain initial feedback on the licenses, as noted in an OSI-issued statement on Microsoft licensing. But to us, it sounds like Microsoft is looking for some specific concessions from the OSI before it seeks formal certification.
