OK, it's time to stop trusting SourceForge

Well, it's official.

SourceForge is putting paid third party code into projects, similar to the junk that Oracle puts into Java, or Adobe into Flash.    No surprise, since they're now owned by a job hunting site Dice, or DHI group inc (note the category warning announcement)

They're backtracking on the insertion of some really bad stuff into GIMP (Ars Technica), saying that they thought GIMP was dead, and that listening to their user [outcry] they'll now only do it on certain projects.

They are saying it's opt-in only,but both things are only a bad quarter and a policy change away.

Unfortunately I'm putting them in the AVOID category, like Tucows and CNET :-(

Update: They Definitely time to untrust them - they hijacked NMap!
