This is the best news I have ever heard! I wonder why they opted to commercialise it in the first place when there are so many open source alternatives. No more mocking about with Arduino!!!!!!!! Now I can look around my old electronics for the latest candidate for iRobot! |

Pharoh: Very interesting, I must confess I am slightly suprised, but I noticed that its not 100% open-source: "Microsoft pulled the framework's cryptography libraries and also stripped out its TCP/IP stack because it contains third-party software licensed from EBSnet, wrote Galli." But its a move in the right direction, the future looks open! |

transformR: I think you can get open source versions of those libraries as separate downloads (not 100% certain), but I recall that when I downloaded the source code there where suggestions for separate downloads of a tcp/ip stack etc. The framework itself is under the Apache license. |
