This is actually a surprising response from MS. I'm actually not taking this with a big grain of salt, for once, and it seems MS is being somewhat genuine. I guess they realized that in one way or another they could no longer ignore, or for that matter, destroy the FL/OSS community as they once desired.

It's, ofcourse, questionable as to whether this will be the case. Knowing MS and it's previous business strategies, the flag may yet change direction in the wind.
