"Acting on the advice of the License Approval Chair, the OSI Board today approved the Microsoft Public License and the Microsoft Reciprocal License. The decision to approve was informed by the overwhelming (though not unanimous) consensus from the open source community that these licenses satisfied the 10 criteria of the Open Source definition, and should therefore be approved."

"OSI's decision to approve the Ms-PL and Ms-CL (also known as the Microsoft Reciprocal License) is unsurprising, since the Free Software Foundation's European branch has already voiced support for the licenses, publicly congratulated Microsoft for creating them, and expressed appreciation for the similarities between the Ms-CL and the FSF's own GPL license."
