== Panoramica ==

I programmi ''shared source'' permettono a privati e organizzazioni di accedere al codice sorgente di Microsoft <!----------------------------for reference (e.g. when developing complementary systems), for review and auditing from a security perspective (mostly wanted by some large corporations and governments), and for development (academic institutions, OEMs, individual developers).

As part of the framework, Microsoft released 5 licenses for general use. Two of them, [[Microsoft Public License]] and [[Microsoft Reciprocal License]], have been approved by the [[Open Source Initiative]] as [[open source]] licenses<ref>[http://opensource.org/licenses/ms-pl.html Ms-PL]</ref><ref>[http://opensource.org/licenses/ms-rl.html Ms-RL]</ref> and are regarded by the [[Free Software Foundation]] as [[free software]] licenses.<ref name="FSFLicenseList">{{cite web
