Microsoft Is Set to Be Top Foe of Free Code

By JOHN MARKOFF

Microsoft is preparing a broad campaign countering the movement to 
give away and share software code.


Microsoft is preparing a broad campaign countering the movement to 
give away and share software code, arguing that it potentially

the same time, the company is acknowledging that it is feeling 
pressure from the freely shared alternatives to its commercial 
software.
