I don't think this will be negative at all. No matter what Perens said,
a Microsoft bad move in this respect would simply undermine all their
efforts to promote .NET, the open source crowd will simply move on to
use other technologies (I know I would, .NET has some really nice stuff,
but nothing that I can't live without or can't work around). Microsoft
doesn't really have something original here, other technologies already
exist that can be used instead of .NET.

Relax...
