sourceforge replaces GIMP installer with malware installer

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/194

Hi Folks! You may have already read the recent news about Sourceforge.net
hijacking the GIMP project account to distribute adware/malware.
Previously GIMP used this Sourceforge account to distribute their Windows
installer, but they quit after Sourceforge started tricking users with fake
download buttons which lead to malware rather than GIMP. Then Sourceforge
took over GIMP's account and began distributing a trojan installer which
tries to trick users into installing various malware and adware before
actually installing GIMP. Of course this goes directly against Sourceforge
CEO Michael Schumacher's promise less than two years ago:

"we want to reassure you that we will NEVER bundle offers with any project
without the developers consent"
--http://sourceforge.net/blog/advertising-bundling-community-and-criticism/

So much for that promise! Anyway, the bad news is that Sourceforge has
also hijacked the Nmap account from me. The old Nmap project page is now
blank:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nmap/

this is older than the internet, re/g/g/it already shat itself over it at least twice

I don't care how old it is, if people still use sf this is a problem

That's why you use freshmeat.net instead!

It's perfectly legal to do so. GIMP is free software. You have the freedom to change it however you want, and others also have the freedom not to use it.
