Microsoft licenses its own technology

The guy who coined the phrase "what goes around comes around" probably didn't have this in mind, but it seems appropriate. Microsoft this week began licensing traffic data from a company called Inrix. No big deal, really. But Inrix previously licensed predictive, real-time traffic technology from Microsoft. So the data Microsoft is licensing from Inrix is being generated by Microsoft technology. This one doesn't even deserve a throw-away joke. It's just silly.
