I don't see any bad in that. They did this more than a year ago, and
still they are the central point for freeware.
They needed a more profitable business model, and they built it.
Still with losses (see their fiscal year 2003 results),
but the situation is much better than a year ago.
I believe it would be better for everyone when SF is driven
by a stable and solid company, not about to crash tomorrow.
Well, there are many alternatives to SF: Savannah is one of them,
http://cbbrowne.com/info/lsfmandate.html gives a few more.
At last, we can leave everything as it is. I just thought a public SF-alike
collaborative place for RT-addons would give only benefits to RT.
