A developer known for building free, open-source alternatives to Adobe's creative tools has unveiled replications of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, along with Autodesk design tools, as reported by Tom's Hardware. The projects take aim at subscription software pricing, offering free alternatives to paid suites. Commenters are framing the effort as a direct challenge to major software vendors, with jokes that Autodesk could be the next target.
