I'm skeptical this will be a fully free license based on the cagey language in the announcement :/
Large, living companies like Microsoft can work with their lawyers to confidently understand what they're releasing when opening up old code and indemnify theythemselves appropriately, but a troubled company on its last legs can't nexessarily budget for all that.
Commercial software of that vintage was not built from dependencies that were all open source themselves, nor were there necessarily contributor/contractor agreements that kept copyright in a suitable place for open source relicencing.

A few of my friends complain that the layout "sucks" or foobar lacks functionality they need, but for my use case, it's in a Goldilocks state. With that said, for people used t…
> A few of my friends complain that the layout "sucks" or foobar lacks functionality they need, but for my use case, I see these complaints too, and I find them funny.
