Agree but what alternative do you suggest ?

Perhaps sooner or later monetization is inevitable for all open source proyects. What hope is there for "free" software when global currency models are rapidly deteriorating. There are always those who would wish to capitalize on another's work much like an parasite.

Do you think that bitbucket or github are any better ? Who is to say that some minutes down the road they will not do the same.

Hello,

Sourceforge's new owner tries to persuade top projects to use a closed
source installer that includes spyware / adware:

IMHO this in not a good place to host a true free software project any
more. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
