WhyMozdev

As an open-source developer, you have many choices as to where to host your projects. For those familiar with our open-source, off-the-shelf tooling, the administrative learning curve is reduced when starting a new project. For those not familiar with our tooling, your learning experience is reusable across the open-source community in general. Mozdev wants to be your hosting provider for all of your Mozilla-related projects. Here's why we think we're the best choice.

Footnote one
By uploading code or other content to Google Code or SourceForge.net, you grant the respective company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license. For specifics see the Google Terms of Service under "4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS" / "Your Rights" and the SourceForge Terms Of Use under "6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS" / "Your Rights".


Footnote two
SourceForge requires the project owner to use their advertising network, and they share some revenue with you. mozdev has no such requirements, and project owners can keep 100% of their earnings.
