To re-release the Windows 7 download tool for Microsoft under the GPL

  

December 10th news Microsoft on Wednesday re-released the Windows 7 USB /DVD download and installation tool, this tool is mainly used to download and install Windows7 on computers and netbooks without optical drive.

But before, there were open source industry people complaining that Microsoft used some code that complies with the GNU Public License (GPL v2) but did not open source. Microsoft apologized and said that it would be re-released as it would satisfy the GPL. Under the conditions of open source, Microsoft officially announced the open source version of the tool on Wednesday, which took longer than expected. The current project has appeared on CodePlex.com, Microsoft's open source software project library.
