SourceForge suspends mirroring, creating Community Panel to review practices

I'm going to guess that the damage is done, and any respectable project has already made steps off of SourceForge.

> With that in mind, SourceForge pledges to present third-party offers only with the projects that explicitly opted-in to that program.

As long as those offers are there ("malware" or not), there is still a problem. I can not recommend software that uses such offers to others, otherwise I need to then perform surgery on their computers to remove the anti-user results of the offers.

Making money is important, but being pro-users should be more important.

I saw a screenshot showing that Sourceforge was being blocked and classified as a malware distribution site by Chrome -- that could certainly explain the sudden change of heart. Good riddance to Sourceforge, though.
