MSBuild is going cross-platform with .NET Core

There are patent pledges and promises not to assert patents: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecifications

Portions of .NET are under ECMA and ISO standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Infrastructure...

I think the most important part is that the new cross-platform .NET core framework, CLR, and compiler (Roslyn) are under permissive open source licenses (MIT for fx and clr, Apache 2 for Roslyn). You can see licenses and patent pledges here: https://github.com/dotnet/

Disclaimers:

1. Microsoft employee until they notice I'm hanging out on hacker news instead of replying to e-mails and "fix the glitch".

2. Not that smart and definitely not a lawyer.
