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.
