'''TeamForge''' (formerly SourceForge Enterprise Edition or SFEE) is a proprietary collaborative [[application lifecycle management]] [[forge (software)|forge]] supporting [[version control]] and a [[software development]] management system.

== Background ==
TeamForge provides a front-end to a range of software development lifecycle services and integrates with a number of [[free software]] / [[open source software]] applications (such as [[PostgreSQL]] and [[Subversion (software)|Subversion]]).

Its predecessor, [[SourceForge]], started as [[open source software]], but a version of it (based on the v2.5 prototype code) was eventually [[software relicensing|relicensed]] under a [[proprietary software license]] as SourceForge Enterprise Edition, which was re-written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/sourceforge-forks.html |title=Sourceforge forks |access-date=2017-02-11 |author=Rick Moen |quote=...around 2002, VA Software decided to junk the entire SourceForge codebase ... as the basis for its proprietary SourceForge Enterprise product, and recode the entire thing from scratch in Java...}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310204135/http://www.vasoftware.com/sourceforge/difs.php |url=http://www.vasoftware.com/sourceforge/difs.php |archive-date=2007-03-10 |access-date=2017-02-11 |title=Differences Between SourceForge.net® and SourceForge® Enterprise Edition |quote= SourceForge.net was built ... using popular web scripting languages including PHP, Perl and Python and many Open Source tools and components. ...

The original codebase of SourceForge (code-named "Alexandria")<ref>{{cite web |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020302153115/http://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria-dev/ |archive-date=2002-03-02 |access-date=2017-02-11 |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria-dev/ |title=SourceForge Alexandria}}</ref> was [[fork (software development)|fork]]ed by the [[GNU Project]] as [[GNU Savannah]]; then, Savannah was also modified at CERN and released as Savane. SourceForge was also later forked as [[GForge]] by one of the SourceForge programmers, and then GForge was itself forked as [[FusionForge]] by three GForge developers.

Originally sold by [[VA Software]], SourceForge Enterprise Edition was acquired by [[CollabNet]] on April 24, 2007.<ref>{{cite web |author=Darryl K.
