Even if you fully trust VA-Linux's commitment to Sourceforge as a free software development site (and it has contributed much, and still is) there is a good reason to have different sites (like Savanah, but also like BerliOS): with so many projects depending on SorceForge, it has becaome a single point of failiure. As commited as VA linux is to helping free software, it may run out of cash some day, or be taken over by a hostile company. BTW: I also don't exclude the option of a "hostile takeover" the board of th FSF: suppose some lunatic will manage to convince enough of the FSF's members that Savanah can only host BSD-licensed projects ;-) I believe that the original mozivation to establish Savanah was this: to avoid the single point of failure. -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 972-4-829-3942, X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
