They are founded by the German Ministry of Economics (a different
department than the one which gave the GnuPG grants) and are run by
the GMD and Fraunhofer (those with the MP3 patents).

Nobody in the (German) community trusts BERLIOS, probably due to a gut
feelings.

One of the responsible persons there is attacking the GNU project
everytime you mention the words GNU, EMACS or RMS, with total clueless
and unfair accusations.

Ciao,
