In light of the recent activities of Dice Holdings trying to monetize the website it purchased in September 2012, Martin Brinkmann at gHacks reports

The admin of the popular NotePad++ text editor announced [June 15] that the project would leave SourceForge

[...] The project will use Github as the development hub for Notepad++ exclusively.

[...] tmux, nmap, [and] VLC for instance [are also trying] to get Sourceforge to remove [their] projects from the site

In the comments, Oxa June notes that Pale Moon is looking to move away.

In addition, Softpedia notes that WINE is migrating away.

    There are tons of projects that're only hosted there, sure if you don't need some niche software finding it offsite is easy, but for niche stuff? Like qpdf for example? It will likely take many years before that site is fully deprecated.
