Sorry to say you guys may by wrong. I heard that SourceForge was loosing to
much $$$ that they might not get to the end of the year.
The KDE team is conserned, as they use SourceForge for all the internet

I really dought they they will move to Oracle, unless Oracle puts money in
some way to overcome the loses.

Saludos... :-)
