If it's the same system we have at the office (WebSense) then probably 
no-one thought of it - the updated list of which sites go into which 
category is downloaded automatically each night, the admins just select 
which categories are blocked/on quota.  The list itself is supposed to 
be 'human reviewed' by the vendor, but I suspect there's a large element 
of automation involved.  Sourceforge comes under 'Software and Freeware 
Download'.
