No, 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?)

No, 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
