In Search of Middle Ground: Hybrid Approaches

• Try to position yourself on the "Free vs Proprietary" scale. What would you expect from a hybrid licensing scheme?
• What is your impression about the MS Shared Source?

I would position myself more on the free side of the scheme. That means I would share my work under CC-BY-ND Attribution No Derivatives licence.

Hybrid licensing is good for businesses, as they can support from commercial incomes their free projects develops. I think that is one way to keep alive some projects that have really good perspective for the future.

As not a big fan of MS I am rather pessimistic with their approach. This seems like they are trying to get some community of developer under their wing with this method.
