"SDN today announced that SourceForge.net, the worlds largest Open
Source development web site, will run exclusively on IBMs DB2 database
software for Linux"

It seems that more and more Free Software projects are no longer
self-hosting.  First the Linux kernel, and now this.

What's next?  GNU distributions where all software has been compiled
by a proprietary compiler?
