InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft is expanding its efforts to move from a "trade secrets" company to one that banks on sharing its intellectual property and benefits from being seen as a more cooperative and open-industry player. Almost a year after announcing a new IP licensing policy and the formal licensing of two technologies, the software giant is set to announce new formal program licenses within the next two months, according to David Kaefer, director of business development, for Microsoft's Intellectual Property and Licensing Group.
