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.
