**TeamForge** (formerly SourceForge Enterprise Edition or SFEE) is a proprietary collaborative [application lifecycle management](/source/Application_lifecycle_management) [forge](/source/Forge_(software)) supporting [version control](/source/Version_control) and a [software development](/source/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](/source/Free_software) / [open source software](/source/Open_source_software) applications (such as [PostgreSQL](/source/PostgreSQL) and [Subversion](/source/Subversion_(software))).

Its predecessor, [SourceForge](/source/SourceForge), started as [open source software](/source/Open_source_software), but a version of it (based on the v2.5 prototype code) was eventually [relicensed](/source/Software_relicensing) under a [proprietary software license](/source/Proprietary_software_license) as SourceForge Enterprise Edition, which was re-written in [Java](/source/Java_(programming_language))[2][3] and marketed for [offshore outsourcing](/source/Offshore_outsourcing) software development.[4]

The original codebase of SourceForge (code-named "Alexandria")[5] was [forked](/source/Fork_(software_development)) by the [GNU Project](/source/GNU_Project) as [GNU Savannah](/source/GNU_Savannah); then, Savannah was also modified at CERN and released as Savane. SourceForge was also later forked as [GForge](/source/GForge) by one of the SourceForge programmers, and then GForge was itself forked as [FusionForge](/source/FusionForge) by three GForge developers.

Originally sold by [VA Software](/source/VA_Software), SourceForge Enterprise Edition was acquired by [CollabNet](/source/CollabNet) on April 24, 2007.[6] CollabNet subsequently integrated SourceForge Enterprise Edition with its own CollabNet Enterprise Edition and product, taking architectural and product elements from both systems, and re-launched the enhanced product as TeamForge in 2008.[7] Since 2007, TeamForge has continued to undergo development, adding in a series of [application lifecycle management](/source/Application_lifecycle_management) tools.[8]
