Columnist: Open Source the Leaked Code


Columnist: Open Source the Leaked Code 02/15/2004 10:31 AM

Why Microsoft Should Open Source the Leaked Source: From the "never-gonna-happen" department, this guy says that Microsoft should just open-source the code that was leaked last week. He makes a good case, but there's no chance Bill would actually go for it.

Why not make lemonade out of lemons by doing the unthinkable: Redistribute the complete NT4 and Windows 2000 code base via either a fully OSS-certified or quasi-open-source license on the MSDN web site?

Sound crazy? Maybe. But think about the positive implications of a fully Microsoft-sanctioned complete release of this code...

Back in January I mentioned Agitar Software in a column on software testing. The backstory was that Agitar got in touch with me after reading my review of Compuwar e's DevPartner Studio. I had used NLucene, the .NET port of the Java-based Lucene search engine, as a benchmark to explore that product's debugging and source-code analysis features. Agitar's development lead, Kent Mitchell, picked up on the idea. He fed Lucene's Java sources into his test automation tool, Agitator, and used Lucene to demonstrate his product. ...

Jaleco, a Gameboy Advance cartridge vendor, released a vintage game-pack that included a public-domain NES emulator written by Loopy. They didn't credit him in the release, and a lot of hackers and gamers were affronted on Loopy's behalf, but Loopy doesn't care. As Waxy says, "his message embodies the spirit of the open-source movement":
Let someone take an idea, do something cool with it, and not have to hesitate because of legal nitpickings. If a company can take something that I made, and turn it into a product that other people enjoy, I'm all the happier for it. Why should I care if someone else profits off of something I made? It's already free.

Demanding that someone pay homage to my work is just ego-stroking, and I'm not into that. Sure, as a courtesy it would have been nice for Jaleco to tell me "hey, thanks for the source", and they didn't, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it, because I didn't write PocketNES so people would pat me on the back.

I wrote it so people could have fun playing old games. And that's exactly what's happening here. Mission accomplished.

I'm with him. After all, this guy used the holes in copyright to make an emulator that relied on Nintendo's (and its suppliers') IP. Li nk (Thanks, Zed!)
