+"Many in our community are suspicious of the CodePlex Foundation.  With its "
+"board of directors dominated by Microsoft employees and ex-employees, plus "
+"apologist Miguel de Icaza, there is plenty of reason to be wary of the "
+"organization.  But that doesn't prove its actions will be bad."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"Someday we will be able to judge the organization by its actions (including "
+"its public relations).  Today we can only try to anticipate what it will do, "
+"based on its statements and Microsoft's statements."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"The first thing we see is that the organization ducks the issue of users' "
+"freedom; it uses the term &ldquo;open source&rdquo; and does not speak of "
+"&ldquo;free software&rdquo;.  These two terms stand for different "
+"philosophies which are based on different values: free software's values are "
+"freedom and social solidarity, whereas open source cites only practical "
+"convenience values such as powerful, reliable software.  See <a "
+"href=\"/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html\"> "
+"http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html</a> for more "
+"explanation."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"Evidently Microsoft would rather confront the practical competition of open "
+"source than the free software movement's ethical criticism.  Its long "
+"standing practice of criticizing only &ldquo;open source&rdquo; does double "
+"duty: attacking one opponent while distracting attention from the other."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"CodePlex follows the same practice.  Its stated goal is to convince "
+"&ldquo;commercial software companies&rdquo; to contribute more to "
+"&ldquo;open source&rdquo;.  Since nearly all open source programs are also "
+"free software, these programs will probably be free, but the &ldquo;open "
+"source&rdquo; philosophy doesn't teach developers to defend their "
+"freedom. If they don't understand the importance of this freedom, developers "
+"may succumb to Microsoft's ploys encouraging them to use weaker licenses "
+"that are vulnerable to &ldquo;embrace and extend&rdquo; or patent "
+"co-optation, and to make free software dependent on proprietary platforms."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"This foundation is not the first Microsoft project to bear the name "
+"&ldquo;CodePlex&rdquo;.  There is also codeplex.com, a project hosting site, "
+"whose list of allowed licenses excludes GNU GPL version 3.  Perhaps this "
+"reflects the fact that GPL version 3 is designed to protect a program's free "
+"software status from being subverted by Microsoft's patents through deals "
+"like the Novell-Microsoft pact.  We don't know that the CodePlex Foundation "
+"will try to discourage GPL version 3, but it would fit Microsoft's pattern."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"The term &ldquo;commercial software companies&rdquo; embodies a peculiar "
+"confusion.  Every business is by definition commercial, so all software "
+"developed by a business&mdash;whether free or proprietary&mdash;is "
+"automatically commercial software.  But there is a widespread public "
+"confusion between &ldquo;commercial software&rdquo; and &ldquo;proprietary "
+"software&rdquo;.  (See <a href=\"/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html\"> "
+"http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html</a>.)"
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"This confusion is a serious problem because it falsely claims free software "
+"business to be impossible.  Many software companies already contribute to "
+"free software, and these commercial contributions are quite useful.  Perhaps "
+"Microsoft would like people to assume these facts are impossible."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"Based on these facts, we can see that CodePlex will encourage developers not "
+"to think about freedom.  It will subtly spread the idea that free software "
+"business is impossible without the support of a proprietary software company "
+"like Microsoft.  However, it may convince some proprietary software "
+"companies to release additional free software.  Will that be a contribution "
+"to computer users' freedom?"
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"It will be, if the software thus contributed works well on free platforms, "
+"in free environments.  But that is just the opposite of what Microsoft has "
+"said it seeks to achieve."

+"Sam Ramji, now president of CodePlex, said a few months ago that Microsoft "
+"(then his employer) wanted to promote development of free applications that "
+"encourage use of Microsoft Windows (<a "
+"href=\"http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3811941\";> "
+"http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3811941</a>).  Perhaps the "
+"aim of CodePlex is to suborn free software application developers into "
+"making Windows their main platform.  Many of the projects hosted now on "
+"codeplex.com are add-ons for proprietary software.  These programs are "
+"caught in a trap similar to the former Java Trap (see <a "
+"href=\"/philosophy/java-trap.html\"> "
+"http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html</a>)."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"That would be harmful if it succeeds, because a program that doesn't run (or "
+"doesn't run well) in the Free World does not contribute to our freedom.  A "
+"non-free program takes away its users' freedom.  To avoid being harmed in "
+"that way, we need to reject proprietary system platforms as well as "
+"proprietary applications.  CodePlex free add-ons to a proprietary base "
+"increase society's dependence on that base&mdash;the opposite of what we "
+"need."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"Will free software application developers resist this attempt to undermine "
+"our progress towards freedom? Here is where their values become crucial.  "
+"Developers that adhere to the &ldquo;open source&rdquo; philosophy, which "
+"does not value freedom, may not care whether their software's users run it "
+"on a free operating system or a proprietary one.  But developers who demand "
+"freedom, for themselves and for others, can recognize the trap and keep out "
+"of it.  To remain free, we must make freedom our goal."
+msgstr ""
+
+# type: Content of: <p>
+msgid ""
+"If the CodePlex Foundation wishes to be a real contributor to the free "
+"software community, it must not aim at free add-ons to non-free packages.  "
+"It needs to encourage development of portable software capable of running on "
+"free platforms based on GNU/Linux and other free operating systems.  If it "
+"tries to seduce us into going in the opposite direction, we must make sure "
+"to refuse."

+msgid ""
+"However good or bad the CodePlex Foundation's actions, we must not accept "
+"them as an excuse for Microsoft's acts of aggression against our community.  "
+"From its recent attempt to sell patents to proxy trolls who could then do "
+"dirty work against GNU/Linux to its longstanding promotion of Digital "
+"Restrictions Management, Microsoft continues to act to harm us.  We would be "
+"fools indeed to let anything distract us from that."
