Regarding jacob's point, in order for these projects to be classified as "Free Software", the entire stack would have to be GPL-compatible. For instance, prior to the opening of Java, anything written on Java that required Sun's closed-source APIs was considered "non-free" by the GNU organization.So, jacob was not joking. These CodePlex projects might be "open source", but they will never be free.
