Introducing Microsoft certified open source licenses

This is really no surprise. Microsoft is becoming an open source player. Maybe not deeply felt in the heart, but Microsoft has been using open source software for a long period internally (I guess). But 15 October 2007 the Open Source Initiative made public that it had approved the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL) and the Microsoft Reciprocal License (Ms-RL). This is a milestone. Or is it just a another logical step in an embrace and squeeze strategy from Microsoft?
