The Channel logo

But what's the point?

I don't get why Microsoft would want their own OSI approved license. What's wrong with the pile of existing ones?

Surely the only point is to put their name on something OSI has approved, so they can use it to confuse or manipulate people. What's the chances they wouldn't even release anything useful under it anyway?
