Quoting Andrew McGlashan (andrew.mcglashan(a)affinityvision.com.au):
This would be downright embarrassing to us VA Linux Systems employees if
that firm hadn't first degraded in 2001 to VA Software Corporation (a
proprietary software company, replacing the former open-source oriented
hardware company that hired me) that then pushed me and many others out
the door in 2003, which in turn renamed itself to SourceForge, Inc. in
2007, then downsized and renamed itself in 2009 to Geeknet, Inc., which
in turn sold off
Sourceforge.net and
Slashdot.org to Dice Holdings in
2012.
So, in short, yr. humble servant's conscience is clear, and, yeah, avoid
these poxy bastiches. ;-> And good riddance when they dissolve
completely.
