The Gimp anuncia que se va de SourceForge (lo cito todo porque los de Gimp no son capaces de suministrar un enlace individual a la noticia):

In the past few months, we have received some complaints about the site where the GIMP installers for the Microsoft Windows platforms are hosted.

SourceForge, once a useful and trustworthy place to develop and host FLOSS applications, has faced a problem with the ads they allow on their sites - the green "Download here" buttons that appear on many, many adds leading to all kinds of unwanted utilities have been spotted there as well.

The tipping point was the introduction of their own SourceForge Installer software, which bundles third-party offers with Free Software packages. We do not want to support this kind of behavior, and have thus decided to abandon SourceForge.

From now on, Jernej Simončič, who provides the installer packages, uploads them to our FTP directly, and from there they will be distributed automatically to our mirrors. Please check Downloads page for updated information. http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net will remain active for the time being and direct users to the new download locations

La política de SourceForge le está haciendo un flaco favor al software libre con estas prácticas comerciales. Si yo tuviera un proyecto allí, me pensaría seriamente en moverlo a otro lado.

Otro tema van a ser los proyectos que "yacen" abandonados en SourceForge. Habría que pensar en salvaguardarlos de algún modo, ya que con la actual política comercial, dudo que a SF le queden muchos años de vida. Y hay gran cantidad de software libre alojado allí.
