It has come to my attention that Sourceforge only does what the U.S.A. government wants, so it isn't the right place to host the Bitcoin client nor the bitcoin.org website.

You can see what i mean here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/Terms_of_Use#ProhibitedPersons

It came to my knowledge because of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37402.0

Probably you guys chosen the wrong place to host such a project.
Free hosting is good, allright, but not when it comes with this price tag Wink

If they let the US government tell them what to do, i ask: What's next? Giving the authorities access to repositories so they can install backdoors?

I think this is a very serious issue and I bet a lot of people will agree with me.

Let the discussion begin!

PS: Sorry for not being eloquent enough but I guess you all understand what I want to say.
