This is probably more an effort on VA's part to appeal to the "Enterprise" clients they want to sell Sourceforge to that some nefarious plot to destroy free software. VA Systems has been a big supporter of Debian for many years, and there are still many Debian developers employed there full time. However, there are several fully Free Software alternatives that could be used to host the project. These are based on GForce, a fork of Souceforge created prior to the recent unpleasantness: 1. Alioth (Debian's Gforge system): http://alioth.debian.org 2. GNU Savannah (GForge System): http://savannah.gnu.org Either of these sites would be more than happy to host Poplog. -Brent |
