SourceForge software licensing and competitors The SourceForge software, which was originally itself open source software was commercialized by a closed-source license. The latest available version of SourceForge, version 2.5 from the CVS repository, was forked by the GNU project as Savane. It was also later forked as GForge by one of the SourceForge programmers. SourceForge also competes with other providers such as Bounty Source, Tigris.org (powered by CollabNet), berlios.de, and GNU Savannah. Banned in mainland China The entire sourceforge.net website was banned in mainland China around 2002. The ban of the projects' host was released in 2003, but the vhost.sourceforge.net was still banned until late 2004 or early 2005. It is reported that Sourceforge was banned again in February 2006, but not in the entire country. Few were actually affected by this supposed ban, so instead, this could be a temporary regional router glitch. See also | ||||||||||
