ASP.NET MVC

Wait… did you say ASP.NET MVC?

“ Additional Use Rights” means a license to use the software, whether unchanged or (for the portions of the software that we supply in source code form) as modified by you, (a) within your company for the purposes of designing, developing and testing your products for use with the software, and (b) in a live operating environment to allow your customers to use, via a web interface, your products that need the software to run. “Additional Use Rights” specifically excludes the right to distribute the software outside of your company and, because the software is a pre-release version, also excludes the right to disclose the results of any benchmark tests of the software to any third party without Licensor’s prior written approval. - http://www.codeplex.com/aspnet/license

But that isn’t an OSI approved license.

ASP.NET MVC IS IMPORTANT!
