Great stuff. I&#x27;ve worked professionally in the .NET development ecosystem for almost a decade and I&#x27;ve never been so enthusiastic about the direction that Microsoft is taking. Their embracing of open source practices is very positive and will help to retain and maybe even attract developers. You just don&#x27;t have to worry about licensing any more this way. You can actually sit an MCP exam in MS product licensing, it&#x27;s that complicated.<p>This announcement is probably timed to coincide with NDC. There were lots of similar open source announcements at a previous MS conference I was at. Although it was a bit weird due to the time difference on the embargo.
