New ownership — they didn’t burn the bridges but I agree that I think the name is too tainted now.
Did the new ownership fire every developer and middle manager? If not, that means there are folks at the “new” sourceforge that are perfectly happy bundling malware with OSS downloads. It was not addressed in the article at all so I’m not buying what they’re selling.
They do mention removing bundled installers and implementing virus scans, both of which seem targeted at removing malware from the site.
I think the issue was that people who thought that bundling malware was ok, are still employed there.
Not necessarily with any responsibilities though.
If you're employed somewhere, you have responsibilities. Otherwise what's the point?
If I'm a mere employee, my chance to decide about what happens around me (or on my employer's website) might be limited.
