That is some crazy amount of spin. SourceForge started their path down the scummy side a while ago but this is really taking it to a new level.

You'd think that if they really cared, they would back pedal on what they did, but no, instead, they double down by trying to justify what they did and "welcoming further discussions".

How about delivering third-party offers that users need to opt in instead?

Terrible, terrible company and organization.
