MicrosoftWatch: The Redmond software firm is set to make available more of its code under an open-source license on Tuesday.

Microsoft is preparing to release a third piece of code under an open-source license via the SourceForge code repository on Tuesday.

Both Microsoft and SourceForge have been hinting for some time that they plan to release more code this way. Earlier this year, Microsoft made its Windows Installer XML and Windows Template Library technologies available under the Common Public License (CPL), a bona fide open-source license.
