When already so much work has been done in opensource, and almost an alternative of everything is present for free, even some freebies are better than the paid products, so why can’t this happen that Microsot copies the source code of Mozilla Firefox, make some changes, and go ahead than firefox. No one will ever know what Microsoft did, since they will not reveal their code. This will save a lot of revenue of Microsoft, I guess.

I really like using open source software (OSS). However, often times there are no binaries, precompiled installation programs or the executable program itself. Instead the sources, the files that contain the module files or the source codes, are provided with a few files called “make files”. How do I use a “make file” or compile the source codes for OSS?
