Copyrights
The code behind Sourceforge was originally written by folks at VA Linux Systems (now called "VA Software") and released under the GNU General Public License. It is thus mostly copyrighted by them.
The code behind this site, on the other hand, is Debian Sourceforge, a derivative of the original Sourceforge code, adapted for Debian systems. The "visible" changes are mostly fixes for bugs and typos, but much work has also been done to provide a package: Debian Sourceforge is easy to setup and run, you only need a system running Debian. Debian Sourceforge has been done by Christian Bayle and Roland Mas, with contributions from various people.
