Microsoft shared its Artificial Intelligence framework on Github with MIT License – Mobile Tech Time - Albany Daily Star Gazette

Microsoft today announced that it is making it easier for developers to use its Computational Network Toolkit (CNTK) to build their own deep learning applications. The company first open sourced this toolkit in April 2015, but at the time, it was hosted on Microsoft's own CodePlex site and was only available under a restrictive academic license. Now, the team is moving the project to GitHub and to the MIT open source license. CNTK is an open-source deep-learning toolkit that became available back in April 2015. However, when it was still on CodePlex, it was restricted by an academic license, which means that it was virtually unused beyond scholarly use.
