That's how I remember it too, with the additions that they also did a bunch of additional shit like show early-stage surveillance ads, and sign you up for unwanted mail lists by default, and more, but all less-awful than the installation of unwanted spamware). My dad runs his company accounting on GnuCash, and I sometimes help him set up a computer, and it is always startling that SourceForge even exists. (It's still the official download[1].)

Death knell is the killing blow (or harbinger of?) Death rattle refers to a rattling noise produced in the lungs with one's dying breaths. Both applicable, death rattle is a little bit more appropriate though, because it's an action that sourceforge took.

  Literally, a death knell is a bell rung (esp by a church) to indicate someone has died. Figuratively it's an event that signals an end to something.

    as is a death toll the ringing of a bell signifying death.
