> Hi, president of SourceForge here. Glad this is trending, albeit a few months later. These articles seem to trend on HN every few months, with many people not realizing SourceForge changed ownership in 2016 and that the new team's been working hard on improving. To be clear, we had nothing to do with the bundled adware decisions of 2015, and when we took over in 2016, the first thing we did was remove the bundled adware, as well as institute malware scans for every project on the site. We're working hard to restore trust, so if we win some of you back that would be cool. However, we're just focused on doing right by our million daily users.
Let me guess: you also dislike GitHub because it's closed, and wish people would distribute software from their own, self-hosted git repositories?
Sourceforge is a hostile source of malware : https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2015-May...
You mock those who desire freedom at your own risk. Github is microsoft now, and supporting it feeds the beast.
