Pardon my ignorance and getting a little off topic, but how does one 
reconcile GPL and the SourceForge license?

“By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through 
SourceForge.net, you grant Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, 
irrevocable, perpetual, ...rent, resell and distribute...”.

Also, I understand that numerous commercial software products were 
incubated at SourceForge.

Does this mean that projects hosted on SourceForge cannot be GPL?

Sorry, but this is an area where I am totally ignorant. Yet, I have been 
seriously considering posting a project on SourceForge ..but I want it 
to be GPL OSS.

Put another way "What's in it for SourceForge"?

Thanks for any comments,

Bob Furber
