Microsoft Releasing Source Code?

In order to Comply with the EU Court ruling about publishing the communication protocols for Microsoft servers.

Ahh, I knew there would be a catch, You have to be an approved Licensee to get the sources.

they will extend the source code offering to the protocols to connect to windows workstations, again to Approved Licensees combining, in the EU the steps they did with the US [ workstation ] from the antitrust lawsuit and the EU’s server ruling.
Oops, another Catch, There currently are only 20 approved Licensees.
Ooh, Catch 3, You cannot use the source code to create an open source application, which is in direct defiance of the EU ruling.
