  Microsoft Tries to Stop Use of Free Software, Journal Reports
Time: 14:10 EST/19:10 GMT | News Source: Bloomberg | Posted By: Robert Stein

Microsoft Corp. has been quietly lobbying to stop government agencies in the U.S. and abroad from using free software that poses a threat to its Windows operating system, the Wall Street Journal reported. Some congressmen have agreed to ask the Office of Homeland Security to avoid funding research that uses certain open-source software, whose instructions can be copied for free and then modified, on behalf of the company, the newspaper said. Microsoft has also taken issue with a report by the Department of Defense on the benefits of using free software, the Journal said.
