Have you been paying attention to the tech news the past few months? See for |
| 12 |
example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SourceForge#Controversies, in particular |
| 13 |
the part about project hijacking. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
That article links to various sources, for example this statement by the NMap |
| 16 |
project: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/194. Supposedly SF.net stopped |
| 17 |
the "project mirroring", but it'll take a lot of work from them to repair the |
| 18 |
damage their actions have done to their reputation, if that's at all |
| 19 |
achievable. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Take away from the above what you will, but I don't trust SourceForge anymore. |
