#Microsoft is liberating #ChakraCore, a part of their Chakra #JavaScript engine. This seems to be exciting news, for a few reasons: users will be running less #proprietary software; the free software community has gained a great project; and Microsoft---once the big bad guy---continues to cooperate with communities rather than fight them.

With that said, we need to wait and see what the license will be before we celebrate too much. As long as it is #freesoftware, we should be happy, but ideally it will be compatible with projects using #copyleft and, specifically, the #GPL.
