Microsoft Releases Source Code For Web Sandbox

nandemoari writes "After flirting with open source development for some time, Microsoft has made another step towards real commitment with the release of source code for Web Sandbox, a program used to test and secure web site content. The Sandbox source code will be released under the Apache 2.0 license, an open source license agreement allowing the content creator to maintain copyright while permitting others to develop the product for their own use. Microsoft has gradually been increasing their involvement with the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) since 2008 when they agreed to fund development of certain ASF initiatives."

Excellent.

I'll assume that Windows kernel, IE, Office, and that new song making program are next!

An interesting section of code:

if (sandbox.isDeepEnd()) {
      Message message = sandbox.getLeprechaun().getMessage();

      if (MessageInterpreter::isBurnCommand(message)) {
            environment.burnItAll();
      }
}

You know, cats love sandboxes too. How do you like them cookies?

Stop it!

Stop it! You're being overly rational in a perfectly emotional debate.
