Does anyone else have the urge to STAY AS FAR AWAY as possible from anything MS releases under 'Shared Source'? It sounds like anything else you work on after signing that NDA would possibly be 'tainted' by MS's intellectual property. 

This is quite a turnaround from their CEO Steve Ballmer calling Open Source a 'cancer.' I guess in step one you try to scare people away, and when that doesn't work step two is pretend to dip your toe into what you previously tried to scare people away from.
