Linux Foundation Forges Deal, Takes the Wheel at Linux.com (LinuxInsider)

LinuxInsider looks at a recent deal between the Linux Foundation and SourceForge. "Both companies emphasized that the sale involved only the "Linux.com" name, not the business or its other activities conducted by SourceForge. "This is a transfer of the URL. There's some collaboration and some use of SourceForge content on the site. We are representing the site in media sales. This sits very naturally, and we are very sensitive to the community. The Linux Foundation will have day-to-day responsibility for running the Linux.com site," Jon Sobel, group president of Media for SourceForge, told LinuxInsider. The transfer of the URL is just one part of the whole relationship between the two companies."
