SourceForge.net forces users to inconditionally accept terms of use with no alternative before logging in

Revision as of 21:13, 1 July 2025 by JP (talk | contribs) (Clean up formatting, add cit. needed notices.)

Sourceforge.net, a common place for developers to share their code, forces their users to unconditionally accept new terms and conditions without any other alternative. The only button to press is "I agree".[citation needed] There is no way to refuse the new terms and conditions. There is also no way for a user to delete their account without accepting the new conditions.[citation needed] A link to those terms and conditions is available and shows content that amounts to an equivalent of 54 pages in format A4.
