well, most people would be businessmen, so starting a riot probably wouldn't be easy, and wouldn't look good for people out side the community. then agian, whoever started it, would get $5 from me for a court fund.....

and yeah, osdn is starting to get kinda owned. does anybody have how much space does all the projects take up?  maybe storing it all off to a remote multi terabyte array would be a good idea. before the source gets taken down.

Ironic, isn't it?  One would have to wonder why Linux and open source projects have to rely on the osdn to house their projects, or use their "services" (so called "collaborative development enhancing", what shit?  All of the best Linux and open source (Linux kernel, XFree86, KDE..) projects have some focussed people with ideas and good programming skills.  The open source development model usually takes care of itself).  The Linux and open source community can host and organise their projects using nothing but their computers with their own free technology; the Linux (or BSD) kernel (and GNU tools) and the Apache web server.  I do think it is very dangerous to place all the sources at the OSDN, a hypocritical and money-hungry corporate who would think nothing of going down and taking all the sources with it  :( .  So, how about we start to organise a project which will link up multiple servers which can be used to store sources?

and preferablly not in the U.S. so when somebody says they have copyright on this or that, or somebody trys to pull a vague DMCA cease and decist, they get told off.
