>I've never had to work so hard to find out _what_ license they're releasing things under. I followed about seven links and finally got it.
Microsoft's open source software repository is codeplex. If you go to codeplex you'll find out that the projects that you mention are Apache 2 licensed too.
I don't think it is unreasonable to believe that the license in the package manager operated by the company who is granting the license would be accurate.
I agree with you 100%. I don't know why they're releasing the source code and the binaries under different licenses so hopefully someone who knows this will reply to these comments. If I find out I'll let you know.
