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 nonfree program takes away its users' freedom.

CodePlex free add-ons to a proprietary base increase society's dependence on that base&mdash;the opposite of what we need.
