Microsoft Research releases source for Allegiance

Microsoft Research(they develop games?) has released the source for a game called Allegiance. Personally, I''ve never even heard of it, but the trailers etc.. at the game site look cool. The game site is at http://www.microsoft.com/games/allegiance/multimedia.htm, while the source can be downloaded from http://research.microsoft.com/research/allegiance/. The zip is 500 megs, so 56K people probably shouldn''t bother. -- AnkhSVN - A Visual Studio .NET Addin for the Subversion version control system.

Not when you actually read the license. The assymetry between clauses 3 and 5 is revealing.

3: "You can't sell your stuff, nor license it in other terms than these."
5: "Microsoft gets your stuff for free, and can sell it if they want to."

Of course, since it's their code in the first place, they sure can license it any way they want, I'm just not interested.
