The author, and a lot of the commentators here, don't seem to have seen that announcement.
The policy of taking over "abandoned" projects is super shady as well. That's what this mailing list post is about, isn't it?
we haven't caught them trojaning Nmap the way they did with GIMP
So stop trying to speak for 100s of thousands of people at once.
PPS: Sourceforge now claims they will stop trojaning software without the developer's permission, but they've broken that exact promise before.
He does know about the announcement, but he does not trust them anymore. That's fully understandable. Fool me twice, etc.
Additionally, you addressed people posting in this thread. The Sourceforge announcement was all over HN and reddit and a lot of people following the whole issue knew about it. It's simply not enough to win back user's trust. But I already addressed that - Yet you chose to critize my way of wording, not the very content.
