Random ramblings about some random stuff, and things; but more stuff than things -- all in a mesmerizing and kaleidoscopic soapbox-like flow of words.3/26/2005
Jim Hugunin released version 0.7 of IronPython and moved to a "Shared Source" license. Some people is complaining about this and already leaving the project and looking to other (play)grounds, namely Boo.
There has already been a discussion about the decision to license IronPython as "Shared Source" from now on. Jim Hugunin doesn't see any problem in that:

He points to Mr. Matusow, at Microsoft, who is the one in charge of the Shared Source stuff, for the license discussions:

What will happen if Microsoft, Jim Hugunin's employer, locks in IronPython?
Will IronPython succeed as a dynamic programming language for the Common Language Infrastructure?
Will Boo, already having static typing, replace IronPython?
Time will tell...
