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.

    I'd like to be rah-rah about this but the Pale Moon install fatally terminated on both my radically different Windoze boxes.

    That's too bad--I've had no problems with install (except when the main branch stopped supporting xp), and I have it running on 10, no, 11 Win setups, from xp(x86) to win7(x64). Are you using the installer, or the stand-alone file? ...and have you tried the portable version?

    OTOH, I've never been able to get the Linux build to function, so I keep modifying Firefox to act like Pale Moon on my Linux boxes...and Mozilla keeps reverting my changes every other "upgrade."
