I was listening to the Hansel Minutes podcast from 11/24 talking about Moonlight.
To paraphrase, Scott made the comment that Microsofts attitude about open source is quickly changing, especially with the adoption of MVC architecture.
I admit I don’t have the best ‘big picture’ grasp of what MVC means to the developement world, but specifically I want to know how does it benefit open source communities?
In fact, MVC itself does not seem to have anything to do with open source specifically except that Ruby on Rails is inspired by it which is something that open source developers use and like. The primary thing about MVC and Microsoft open source strategy is that ASP.NET MVC, which is probably going to be an important thing for Microsoft, is released as open source software and it’s being developed within the community.
