This page used to be a rant about SourceForge's shady practices around circa 2015, along with some basic comparison of other hosting services.

Times have changed, and SF has a new owner, determined to fix their reputation:

• SourceForge Acquisition and Future Plans
• Under new management, SourceForge moves to put badness in past (arstechnica.com)
• SourceForge now scans all projects for malware and displays warnings on downloads
• Reddit AMA with the owner

You can find the old version in the git repository, if you're interested.
