SourceForge blevet til ScourgeForge ?

--- Eller på på dansk er softwaresmedien blevet til en kilde for alskens onder somf.eks. for mal-& crapware?-- Se linket

De især light-linux distroer til gamle PC'er, jeg gennem årene har hentet hos kildesmeden har- så vidt jeg kan bedømme- ikke være inficeret.
Har andre af forums brugere erfaringer at dele ud af?

Mig bekendt er det kun Windows exe filer der bliver pakket ind i en reklame installation. Hvis altså det er det du henviser til?

Det er åbebar andet og MERE end windows--- se dette citat:

"What happened to once mighty repository (owned by Geeknet) of Linux, Windows, and Mac software? It was purchased by Dice. The moment they stepped in, every page displaying the available software was riddled with ads and download links that made it next to impossible to discern the link for what you wanted vs. the link you didn't want. Each and every one of those download links was click bait for second-rate software (most of which turned out to be malware, adware, and spyware). Dice came out to say they were attempting to profit-share for these projects, and any developer could opt out of the spyware game should they choose.

Back in 2013, the massive GIMP project left Sourceforge because of these changes. The thing is, the old GIMP project was still on the site. In May of 2015, some Sourceforge staff member decided to take it upon themselves to resurrect the Windows version of the project and offer it for download. Thanks to Sourceforge, this download happened to be riddled with third-party software. This little incident lead the popular Notepad++ project leaving Sourceforge due to the treatment of GIMP and the serving of "crapware."

And now... the WINE project is leaving Sourceforge. "

Der står jo lige nettop at det kun er Windows programmer der rammes.

Vil da opfordre folk til og bruge linuxtracker.org i stedet.. Nok er der reklamer, men det man henter er clean.. og så er man bedre sikret en god download hastighed!

Der er sket det, at de ikke får penge nok ind til at dække deres udgifter, derfor har de måttet søge andre muligheder.

Desværre er det et problem mange åbne projekter løber ind i.....
