Seriously!
How this was done was wrong.

It's wrong because it's disingenuous - an insincere representation of the GIMP maintainers package, to include adware in the package.
SF insufficiently differentiates this "gimp-win" project with the small, coded byline: "Brought to you by: sf-editor1" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/)
Let's be blatant and honest: this is "SF-GIMP" not GIMP. It's being operated here under the guise of the authors and currently not sufficiently identified as a fork.
SF skirts "adoption responsibility" by simply writing a post to some unrelated blog article after the fact and create a collection of unrelated "deceptive ad blocking" website tools.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO SF:
* Be up front and bold about "adopting"!
* Free software or not this adoption stinks!
