They are lying.
I just checked and my very much open-source Sumatra PDF is still wrapped in their cnet installer which tries to push some "special offers" or trick the user into installing some other software.
"In addition to immediately taking Nmap out of the download manager, we reviewed all open source files in our catalog to ensure none are being bundled."

- jaredsohn 15y agoIf you read the comments, you'll see they also missed putty and filezilla. Their 'review' indeed seems to have been pretty poor.
- kkowalczyk 15y agoYeah, I noticed. I also asked them to remove bundle from my program via comments. It doesn't seem like there's any other, documented, way to get them to do it.
