>What I don't understand about any of this is why anyone wouldn't just either move their project to Github or self host.

Personally, I like their download stats:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/files/libpng/stats/tim...

But generally, why would I move if I never had problems with the service?

Because perhaps--just fucking perhaps--you don't want malware injected into any of your projects when they're downloaded?

I keep complete control over my projects, and I'll make sure it won't happen.

Until they take that control from you.

How?

They won't because I'm not abandoning my projects.

People who complain have one thing in common - they abandoned their projects on SF. It's kinda like letting the domain name expired and then complaining that somebody took over. Always keep an eye on your hosting and your domain names, folks.

What makes you think that will make a difference? They'll hijack whatever they want that's hosted on their servers whenever they want to hijack it.

Devs who never abandoned their projects are doing fine. Not one of them complained about "hostile takeover".
