I'm looking at using a few open source products in a commercial software application I'm working on. One of them is licensed under MIT, which I understand as allowing commercial software linking. However, the other open source product is licensed under MS-PL but I don't understand if that license is fully compatible with commercial software.

So the question is, can I use MS-PL licensed OSS in a commercial/proprietary/for-sale application?

Thanks.

Understanding the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL)
