It feels a bit different here, at least to me. Nmap had a Sourceforge account, but now it's been taken away from them -- "hijacked", as the post describes it. And Sourceforge at least used to be a reputable site and has (had?) some lingering aura of trust around it.
- maxst 11y agoThey had this "You Can Take Over Abandoned Projects" policy for years: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Abandoned%20Projects/ https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Abandoned%20Pr... I took over APNG project in 2011, nice short name, it was really abandoned, and I don't feel bad about it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/
- mintplant 11y agoSure, but this is Sourceforge itself doing the taking over, and they're offering the same downloads (plus their wrappers and what-not) rather than reusing the name for a different project.
