Microsoft plans to extend its mainstream development tooling to Silverlight, its Flash challenger, and add support for dynamic languages. At the Mix '07 Web developer and designer conference, Microsoft executives said the company will allow .Net developers to create applications for Silverlight, its alternative to Adobe Systems' Flash format. Microsoft on Monday released an alpha version of Silverlight 1.1 that will allow people to write applications using .Net applications such as C#. Version 1.0 of Silverlight will be available this summer.

"The release for the DLR is done under the terms of the Microsoft Permissive License (MsPL) which is by all means an open source license. "
How does it interact with the GPL, LGPL, and MIT license that different parts of Mono is under? Also, I don't think the Microsoft Permissive License is certified by the OSI or the FSF or the DFSG. The FSF says that their shared source licenses are incompatible with the GPL.

The Microsoft Permissive License is described here:

I've seen it described as "BSD-like".
