I can think of other reasons; sourceforge itself is not run with free
software anymore, which is absurd - especially since the free software
tools to do its job are perfectly good.

I think it might be better to have a set of good free tools that
developers can use in their own Web space, and a canonical directory
of free projects. Sourceforge was largely a result of the absurd
valuation of VA Linux.
