My reading was that VA Linux was maneuvering to:
1) Make the engine that runs the SourceForge site proprietary.
2) Insure that once a project was hosted on SourceForge that it would be
difficult or impossible to migrate to any other host.
3) Controled a lot of other open source software besides the source forge
back end.
4) One could thus infer a management shakeup at VA Linux with a resulting
change in business model that necessitated recapture of open source
investments by VA Linux.
In other words the VA Linux management is behaving like a pack of
capitalists. Shame on them!
Whatever will the shareholders think if VA Linux should actually show a
profit or pay a dividend?!
