Many of these are projects that abandoned their SourceForge accounts—only to have SourceForge staff pick them up and keep them active. The Apache accounts appear to be recently updated, while others haven't had new code releases since 2012. SourceForge has set these accounts up as "SourceForge Mirrors" for popular open source projects.

"Millions of people use SourceForge every day to search for Open Source software, and we want to give them the best experience possible, even if the best answer to their search is a project hosted elsewhere, or an abandoned project newly maintained by the SourceForge team," a SourceForge team member wrote on the site's open source mirror page. "By mirroring these projects here, we come a step closer to that reality. And, in the process, we do those projects a small favor in return, providing another way to get to their website, and being part of their software distribution mirroring network. We’re putting your software in front of more than 42 million additional potential users a month."

According to the same page, SourceForge's community team wants feedback from open source developers—"If you want your project mirrored on our site, or if you don't want your project mirrored on our site, please let us know." The site does not say, however, that those requesting not to be mirrored will be automatically opted out.

The majority of these projects are hosted directly by SourceForge as-is, with no ad-driven installers. However, the GIMP for Windows installer is hosted through the goodbundlecenter.com content delivery network—a service with a domain registered through the Israeli registrar Galcomm's privacy protection service.

Update: A representative of SourceForge direct-messaged Ars via Twitter shortly after this story posted, with a link to a blog post from the SourceForge Community Team, stating that the GIMP-Win project page had been taken over by SourceForge because it had been abandoned. "Based on our prior outreach to the GIMP-Win author, we understand that they had concerns about the presence of misleading third-party ads on SourceForge." Many of those ads include fake download buttons that deliver other software products—some of which may be laden with adware or even malware. SourceForge launched an initiative called "BlockThis" to try to stop "misleading ads," but they are still legion on the site's download pages.

SourceForge also admitted to putting bundle-ware installers on some open source projects. "Mirrored projects help enable end users to stay current with the latest releases, particularly where SourceForge continues to house historical releases for community benefit," the unidentified spokesperson wrote. "Mirrored projects are sometimes used to deliver easy-to-decline third-party offers, and the original downloads are always available."
