Thank you Robert, and sorry for the black eye I wasn't just defending the Galactica team, I was also defending the open-source bazaar concept "release early, release often".
Galactica was not a product but a research project in search of feedback.
Sadly, the feedback was not

Open Source Licensing Critical for Research Project Success
By
–
That's a totally fair perspective. Just two thoughts, if I may be so bold: – Use the term "source available", not "open source"
– Consider an open source license in the future — MSFT Research's history is littered with projects that failed due to closed licenses! -

Microsoft Research License Restrictions Impact Academic AI Innovation

This looks very exciting Sebastien – congrats! Any chance we might see the license open up in the future? Currently it's research-only. MSFT has released most cool academic stuff as research-only for the last 25 years or so, and it's really limited its impact IMO.
