Definitely agreed. "And I if I don't like your face, I will get my ball away and game is over." ;-)
The marketing excuse is ridicolous. If MS-PL is an open-source license, just state that, list and shut up.
So since when Microsoft is excommunicated from creating an open-source license? Blah.. usual oSS crap.
