Maybe this isn't the right forum for it, but I do think sourceforge a
rather picky about their licenses.  I mean, they actually threw the NASM
project off (!) for not having an approved license.  The NASM license is
definitely an open source license, and has been accepted by lawyers for
red hat, debian and suse as an acceptable license for their purposes,
but sourceforge weren't happy.

I think sourceforge are actually trying to persuade everyone that they'd
be better off with GPL.
