Black Duck acquires Ohloh
Black Duck plans to use the acquisition to help enhance and expand FOSS adoption by making it easier for developers to tap the huge body of high-quality code in open source projects, and collaborate with their peers through the Ohloh community. By working with the FOSS community, including forges, foundations and other code repositories as well as individual projects and developers, Black Duck will expand and enrich Ohloh with improved data and new productivity tools. Black Duck will integrate Ohloh assets with Black Duck's free code search site Koders.com, and will infuse it with a complete set of FOSS project data from Black Duck's comprehensive KnowledgeBase, to create a single premier web destination that developers can turn to as a trusted source of FOSS knowledge."

I find it disturbing that the networking information is becoming a trade asset, doubly so when these guys enter our world.
Think about it, Google pays Twitter for direct access to its information, so as to avoid the much more difficult web crawling way.
Now, how are we supposed to like the idea that BlackDuck will someday sell direct access to the FOSS networking information to some groups, like, say, headhunters?
