The software giant said it had written to "some" of the people it had identified as sharing the source code.
Saying things without providing references to evidence is a hallmark of the denialist argument, even as they demand climate scientists make available for scrutiny every change to every draft of every paper they ever touch, as well as the proprietary source code of computer programs they create to analyze their data.

It was only in the 1970s, as computing spread, that firms such as Microsoft started to withhold the source code, making software truly private.
This can include processes such as requirements gathering and documentation, source code control, code review, change management, configuration management, release management, and the actual testing of the software, explains Matt Miller, chief technology officer at CareerBliss.
As early as 2002, researchers at Johns Hopkins and Rice University analyzed the source code of the widely used Diebold voting machines, which have since been rebranded as Premier Election Solutions.
And just as open-source programmers collaborate by sharing software code, engineers are already starting to collaborate on open-source designs for objects and hardware.

The states so strongly believe they are right in the case that they are seeking "nuclear-weapon-like remedies" such as breaking up the company or forcing it to license the source code for Windows, Mr Kovacic said.
Trade secrets also protects software source code and sometimes other aspects of software, such as proprietary limited-distribution documentation.
Like other open source software, such as the operating system Linux, Firefox's code is freely available for any programmer to examine and improve.
Linaro engineers, leveraging their extensive embedded knowledge, will contribute to a wide range of open source projects covering areas such as tools, kernel, graphics and boot code.

Just as he did with a previous artificial brain model, Yamazaki plans to release the source code for the system.
We are now at the point where the source code to whatever computer programs were used needs to be made available as well.
FORBES: Publish Your Code: This'll Cause Problems in Climate Change Research
In the future, we hope that a global army of open-source code developers, students and other experts in digital signal processing, as well as citizen scientists willing to lend their intelligence to our exploration, will have access to the same technology and join our quest.
Beth Noveck, former deputy chief technology officer in the Obama administration, called for an open-source approach to rethinking government, making its operating system as accessible to everyone as the code that powers the Arduino device.
As long as there is a reasonable level of awareness regarding the product, any deviation from original trusted source code will be noticed rapidly.
