TeamForge

TeamForge provides a front-end to a range of software development lifecycle services and integrates with a number of free software / open source software applications (such as PostgreSQL and Subversion).

Its predecessor, SourceForge, started as open source software, but a version of it (based on the v2.5 prototype code) was eventually relicensed under a proprietary software license as SourceForge Enterprise Edition, which was re-written in Java{{cite web |url=http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/sourceforge-forks.html |title=Sourceforge forks |access-date=2017-02-11 |author=Rick Moen |quote=...around 2002, VA Software decided to junk the entire SourceForge codebase ... as the basis for its proprietary SourceForge Enterprise product, and recode the entire thing from scratch in Java...}}{{cite web |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310204135/http://www.vasoftware.com/sourceforge/difs.php |url=http://www.vasoftware.com/sourceforge/difs.php |archive-date=2007-03-10 |access-date=2017-02-11 |title=Differences Between SourceForge.net® and SourceForge® Enterprise Edition |quote= SourceForge.net was built ... using popular web scripting languages including PHP, Perl and Python and many Open Source tools and components. ...

The original codebase of SourceForge (code-named "Alexandria"){{cite web |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020302153115/http://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria-dev/ |archive-date=2002-03-02 |access-date=2017-02-11 |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria-dev/ |title=SourceForge Alexandria}} was forked by the GNU Project as GNU Savannah; then, Savannah was also modified at CERN and released as Savane. SourceForge was also later forked as GForge by one of the SourceForge programmers, and then GForge was itself forked as FusionForge by three GForge developers.

Originally sold by VA Software, SourceForge Enterprise Edition was acquired by CollabNet on April 24, 2007.{{cite web |author=Darryl K.
