I'm entirely unclear on why it's incumbent on LDP to differentiate
itself from anyone or anything.
However, since you ask, http://www.howtoforge.com/ appears to be a
commercial property of projektfarm GmbH, a corporation in Lueneburg,
Germany that is substantively a one-man operation of Till Brehm, CEO.
It appears that there at least most, if not all, of the documents hosted
there are under proprietary licensing and also do not bear any inline
version designations. And, of course, the entire site is
advertising-driven.
Nothing wrong with any of those things, and I appreciate the work of Mr.
Brehm and his various author/contributors. I merely note the
distinction, in answer to your (rather bizarre) question.
