Earlier quoted context omitted.
We saw it, but why does it matter? They also claimed to never add adware without consent before. Even considering to bundle up malware with FOSS projects is offensive to me. They lost my trust and a simple blog post won't win it back. The policy of taking over "abandoned" projects is super shady as well. That's what this mailing list post is about, isn't it?
Not "we" as the author of the post doesn't know about this announcement from sourceforge, as they say: 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.
