We (Kelkoo R&D) did recently a study of the performance of several servlet engines, including the last releases for Tomcat, Jitty and Resin.
Tomcat and Jitty were the faster and the more robust.
Jitty was a bit faster than Tomcat.
Tomcat was a bit more robust then Jitty when stress-tested.
I hope that GPLing Resin will make people enhance its performances.
about google: looking for "revenge english band new order mp3" (revenge is a english band produced by the english band "new order", but you all know that:-). Anyway, google is proposing on the right of the result page: Free MP3 Music Downloads No monthly fees. Fast downloads. All your favorite artists available (link to kaz..)
So, he recovered 83% of his lost savings through donation. Good for him, nice of the donators ! But I don't think we ("the community") will be able to support a lot of people in its situation. Does it mean that we (all of us) should find in our usual insurance contracts if they cover our responsibility wrt to our programming activities ?
It depends really on the situation of the company.
If you take your usual centrally administred little company, sure, sourceforge won't help. If you take a, even small, company, like mine, distributed over several countries doing intensively reactive work, you need this kind of tool.
Moreover, why a company will pay for something when they can have the free GPL version ?
What you generally pay for is the service allowing you to be lazy (or to have some more time for stuff more valuable for you). Thus, customization, installation and admin tools could be very interesting for people who already tried to setup sourceforge like tools using all the GPL components.

I'm using Kelkoo (UK version) to find computer parts and compare prices between european merchants. :-)
If it can help anyone
