Microsoft Takes Down Windows 7 Download Tool for Netbooks

Have you downloaded the Windows 7 Installer for Netbooks from Microsoft? If you did, well you’re in luck because the said tool was temporarily pulled down from the Microsoft site after a Windows blogger pointed out that it may be violating open-source code standard.
Explaining via a post in his blog, Rafael River said that Microsoft seems to be using a code from ImageMaster which is licensed under the GPLv2 open-source license. This code, while free to be used contain its own set of terms and conditions. These conditions include sharing any modifications to the code.
Microsoft is now looking into the issue aside from temporarily pulling the Windows 7 download tool.
