China Bans SourceForge

Contributed by Thanks for the note, on Nov 27, 2002 - 08:26 PM

There is a story at The Inquirer.net that talks about certain sites being blocked by the Chinese Gov with a link to a web page that lists these sites --- http://code.law.harvard.edu/filtering/list.html -- and within this list, and right along side uscourts.gov and other dangerous web sites, is the awesome web site SourceForge.net! (about the 19th site down in the list)




I had no idea that the thought of OpenSource development was such a threat to Communists!




But if you think about it long and hard I bet you can come up with a lot of reasons for this.
