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.

Yea, SourceForge made so much money giving away hosting that investors are going to throw money at GitHub forever. Oh wait. Anybody see the problem here? As soon as the economy turns (and it will) or investors just get tired of throwing Sagans of cash into the suckhole, GitHub is going be be forced to pay their hosting bills. Guess how they will do that? Go ahead, guess?
Bottom line, if you aren't paying for the product it is because you ARE the product. Free Software can be an exception to that rule but only in an abstract sense. Hosting always costs money. Fit, finish, documentation and support that distros do but apparently devels refuse to will cost money. And if you build in a check box "Do you want money?" into the IDE like Google did with the Play Store the Free Software world apparently goes Poof! and suddenly Busybox has a 'pro' version.
