Last week, Microsoft announced that the newly released ASP.NET MVC 1.0 feature is now available as Open Source (and ships with the source) under the MS-PL license. So, in addition to being completely free (as in beer as in you needn’t pay for it to use it), it’s also now free (as in speech) – you can use its source as you see fit.
