SourceForge Eliminates DevShare Program (sourceforge.net)

Posted by whipslash on from the times-they-are-a-changin dept.

SourceForge has officially eliminated its DevShare program. The DevShare program delivered installer bundles as part of the download for participating projects. We want to restore our reputation as a trusted home for open source software, and this was a clear first step towards that. We are more interested in doing the right thing than making extra short-term profit. This is just the first step in a number of improvements we will outline in the coming weeks. SourceForge and Slashdot were acquired in late January by BIZX.

    I think we were just hoping you'd mute him, but that works too.
