VA Linux to Sell Proprietary Version of Sourceforge

See the letter to SourceForge members assuring them that VA Linux will continue to provide free hosting/etc. at SourceForge. They will also continue to maintain a GPL version of the code, SourceForge Open Edition." VA is Slashdot's corporate parent.

    If anyone looks at the stock profiles of RedHat or VA Linux, it's interresting to note that their line graphs would make excellent ski slopes.
