At Mix this week a lot of pretty exciting stuff was announced for developers. The biggest news was obviously the CLR running cross-platform as part of Silverlight and the introduction of the Dynamic Language runtime. This Interview with Scott Guthrie will get you up to speed on the former, and Jon Udell's brilliant phone conversation with John Lam goes deep on the DLR. John's iunknown blog has a wealth of information for those interested in Python and Ruby on the DLR.

Somewhere in the shadow of these huge announcements, new simplified licensing terms for the Windows Live Platform (WLP), including Virtual Earth, were rolled out. If you’re interested in using multiple services of the WLP, VE is covered as part of the broad license for the Platform. WLP is free for use on websites that have less than 1 million Unique Users and Commercial-use is completely supported in these terms of use! The license covers Contacts, Photos, Silverlight Streaming, Search, Virtual Earth, and Windows Live ID. As always, dev.live.com is the place to go for more info on any of the services of the WLP.
