The Outercurve Foundation was an independent 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation founded by Microsoft.{{Cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/msft-presents-codeplex-open-source-foundation-with-a-commercial-twist/ |access-date=2021-03-28

It was founded on September 10, 2009, as the CodePlex Foundation, led mostly by Microsoft employees and affiliates. The free software community considered the site subversive and suspected Microsoft's goal was to make people dependent on Windows and other software owned by Microsoft.{{cite web | url=http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/microsoft-codeplex-foundation | title=Lest CodePlex perplex |access-date=2021-03-28

Outercurve directors filed articles of dissolution to the Washington Secretary of State on April 22, 2017.
