Moonlight
Moonlight is a free software package, developed with assistance from Microsoft.
What is it?
Moonlight is primarily a web-browser plugin which provides animation and interactivity features which can be used to develop web applications.
What reassurances has Microsoft offered?
In 2007, Microsoft published a "Covenant to Downstream Recipients of Moonlight".[1] A new promise was published in December 2009,[2] but it was criticised as being no improvement on the previous promise. The new promise also specifically excludes distributors from any patent protection.[3]
