Free software gained enough momentum to become a serious threat to capitalism and so opposition appeared, most notably [Microsoft](microsoft.md), caught red handed with the leak of so called *Halloween documents* in late [1990s](90s.md), in which they discuss strategies for eliminating the threat of free software. Despite this free software couldn't be stopped and grew in popularity, which is apparent from the huge success of [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md) and from the cases when very valuable software, such as the [Doom](doom.md) engine or [Blender](blender.md), got released under free terms.
Later on free software inspired movements such as [free culture](free_culture.md) (shortly after the year 2000) and the evil [open-source](open_source.md) [fork](fork.md) (1998, a malicious response of business, a kind of "free software" minus ethics).

Sister organizations to the original FSF were also established outside the [US](usa.md), notably FSFE (FSF [Europe](europe.md)) and FSFLA (FSF Latin America) in 2001 and 2005 respectively.
Sadly around 2010 (aka the year when everything started to go to [shit](shit.md)) the "open source" wave was already overshadowing free software. This was really a part of the great societal [downfall](collapse.md), the time when dystopian ultracapitalism finally got to finishing off the last remnants of ethical values in society.
