SourceForge dumps DevShare

The SourceForge hosting site has announced that it has a new owner (BIZX, LLC, along with Slashdot) and that it will be getting rid of the controversial DevShare program, which was covered here in 2013. "As of last week, the DevShare program was completely eliminated. The DevShare program delivered installer bundles as part of the download for participating projects. We want to restore our reputation as a trusted home for open source software, and this was a clear first step towards that. We’re more interested in doing the right thing than making extra short-term profit."
