SourceForge Lifts the Block: The Power of Negative Publicity

,----[ Quote ]
| I didn't blame SourceForge for this (although 
| plenty of people did). When you get a legal 
| order from an entity that has the right to 
| issue and enforce legal orders, if you are 
| law abiding in your nation of residence, you 
| comply with the order. SourceForge had 
| nothing to gain by "bucking the system" and 
| could ultimately do more harm than good to 
| the open source community by telling the U.S. 
| Government to "go pound sand".

SourceForge vs Google App Engine hosting

,----[ Quote ]
| The hosting of BleachBit's web site, bug tracker, and blog has
| bounced between SourceForge, Google's Blogger, Launchpad, Google
| App Engine, and SourceForge again. Certainly there have been some
| lessons learned on the strengths and weaknesses of each hosting
| provider. These may be useful to other open source projects
| choosing a web hostâparticularly for demanding, dynamic sites.
