SourceForge Responds To nmap Maintainer's Claims
An anonymous reader writes: A few days ago, the maintainer of nmap (an open source network mapping tool) complained that SourceForge had taken over the nmap project page. SourceForge has now responded with a technical analysis of the nmap project history. They said, "We've confirmed conclusively that no changes were made to the project or data, and that all past download delivery by nmap on SourceForge was through our web hosting service where content is project-administered."
They detail the history of services used by the nmap project, and use screenshots from the Internet Archive to show how long the project was empty. SourceForge said, "The last update date in 2013 relates to the migration of the nmap project (along with all other projects on the site) from SourceForge's sfx code base to the new Apache Allura-based code base. This migration was an automated operation conducted for all projects, and this platform change did not augment data in the Project Web service or File Release System. We therefore conclude that no content has been removed from the nmap project page." They also confirmed that nmap downloads were never bundled with ads: "Infosec professionals do not generally wish to install secondary offers." Note: SourceForge and Slashdot share a corporate overlord.

We're over here ripping apart your nonsense.
And now we have Apache on our side, to boot.
The day for the lawsuit approaches, Slashdot Media.
And we have already come to consensus: There will be no settlement allowed.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.

Make some real change happen - go there and start helping break down every lie Sourceforge/Slashdot Media is telling. Help us gather more evidence that directly contradicts the lies being told by SDM.

So you don't have to go to the cesspool boards.
But judging from the dripping ignorance in your comment, perhaps it's best you not go there in the first place.
