Microsoft Microsoft has released an initial release of version 2.0 of the Singularity operating system (research development kit, as it likes to call it). Singularity is a microkernel research operating system, where the kernel, drivers, and applications are all written in managed code. Singularity is released under a shared source academic license, and you can do whatever you want with it, except making money (simply put).

That depends on your definition of open source. I find "please do not make money with out stuff" not all that different morally than "whatever you do with our stuff must remain available to us".
