- makomk 13y agoTrouble is, a lot of Sourceforge sofware is bundled with adware these days, so anyone with sense won't download from them.
- JohnTHaller 13y agoNo, it isn't. There were a total of 3 projects (literally 3 out of 300,000+) that use the SourceForge adware download feature. These are the 3 (or was it 4?) that signed up during the test period before SF closed the program to re-evaluate it. Other than that, there are open source projects on SourceForge that manually use adware installers of the publishers' own choosing (OpenCandy, Sweet IM, etc) to try to make money. But I've seen this on other services as well, since it's up to the publisher
- gmjosack 13y agoI wanted to make a contribution to BASH recently and went about trying to figure out how, ending up at Savannah. I don't know if I've just become spoiled by Github, I remember just mailing patch files in the past and being okay with it, but when I came across Savannah, nothing about it made me want to contribute. It turned me off completely and I moved on to work on something else.
