||11 November 2001. Over the past few months the SourceForge ||
||development facility, which hosts a large number of Free   ||
||Software projects, has changed its policies. Features for  ||
||exporting a project from SourceForge have been removed. The||
||implementation used to be exclusively Free Software but is ||
||now based on non-free software. Finally, VA Linux has      ||
||become rather underhand in their attempts to grasp         ||
||exclusive control of contributors' work. SourceForge did a ||
||lot of good for the Free Software community, but it's now  ||
||time to break free.                                        ||

SourceForge drifting
11 November 2001. Over the past few months the SourceForge development facility, which hosts a large number of Free Software projects, has changed its policies. Features for exporting a project from SourceForge have been removed. The implementation used to be exclusively Free Software but is now based on non-free software. Finally, VA Linux has become rather underhand in their attempts to grasp exclusive control of contributors' work. SourceForge did a lot of good for the Free Software community, but it's now time to break free.
