Chocolatey downloads Sourceforge binaries too: https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=sourceforge https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=sourceforge And Microsoft won't curate nor provide a mirror for popular open source binary downloads, right? Sourceforge basically acts as a web interface for a dozens of open source gratis mirrors. The mirrors allow Sourceforge to upload files, something that should be revoked and transferred to a free software open source community driven website.

Developers will be able to upload regular desktop applications to the Windows 10 app store once they have converted them into the AppX format. I don't see why open source Windows apps couldn't be hosted there.
