It was brought to my attention that the FSF has re-posted its CodePlex Foundation commentary from last Fall on the day it was announced that I took the position as technical director at the Foundation. I'm not sure that anything has been added to the new commentary. Re-reading the FSF re-post, I can't but point back to my original response. I will add a couple of clarifications:
- CodePlex.com is a Microsoft owned and staffed forge that encourages the development of open source software based on Microsoft technology. The CodePlex Foundation is a separate not-for-profit software foundation to enable and encourage the development of open source software in the commercial world. Microsoft is the founding sponsor of the Foundation. There will be other sponsors. I work for the Foundation, not Microsoft.
- The naming confusion was not the most inspired move, but reflected an earlier idea for the Foundation. It will be resolved over time, and hopefully the confusion with it.
- The CodePlex Foundation is completely free and open source software license agnostic. The Foundation is also technology agnostic. If you want to use AGPL or GPLv3 or BSD or EPL, the Foundation has no opinion and will happily support your project or gallery. If you want to run on Mac OSX, Linux, Windows or all three, the Foundation likewise doesn't have an opinion.
The CodePlex Foundation has taken a while to get going, but there are already six projects across two galleries, some of them non-Microsoft. Paula Hunter joined as executive director last March, and I arrived a few short weeks ago. It's early days yet. Rome was not built in a day.
Pax.

A sideways meta-topic: RSS feeds for CodePlex Blogs
It is tricky to find RSS feeds for these CodePlex Blogs. I would like to see a single feed for all of the authors here, since the traffic is not that high and I already have subscriptions to the individual blogs of some of you.
The individual-authorship feeds are nice too. I am not recommending that those be removed, simply that there be an aggregated feed also, preferably the one that browsers will detect when looking at the aggregated-posts page.

Re: Oops
The double submission happens because of a forms refresh that I did trying to find a compatible view of the page. Sorry, it didn't register in my brain the consequences were for proceeding with a dialog box that said data needed to be resubmitted.
