In late 2014, Gitorious, the provider of the open source infrastructure for the FlightGear source code and data repositories announced that it would shut its services down by May 2015 due to its acquisition by GitLab. This catalysed the split of fgdata-old and a switch to the SourceForge open source infrastructure for the hosting of the VC repositories. Other parts of the FlightGear infrastructure were already hosted by SourceForge, making the move a natural one. Sealing the deal, SourceForge agreed in writing to host the huge FlightGear aircraft collection, the size of which is unrivaled in open source circles. Today, the FGAddon SVN repository, together with most of the FlightGear project infrastructure, is hosted on SourceForge. | In late 2014, Gitorious, the provider of the open source infrastructure for the FlightGear source code and data repositories announced that it would shut its services down by May 2015 due to its acquisition by GitLab.

However, to combat licence proliferation complications for the integrity and good of the FlightGear project, it is strongly recommended that original content be GPLv2+ licensed. | ||
