SourceForge vs. Github

FreeMind has been using SourceForge since 2001 or thereabouts. As of laterly, Github (check spelling) became increasingly popular.

Dan Polansky: I see no pressing advantage of Github over SourceForge, which also offers Git hosting. I hate fashions (and fashionable nonsense).

Dan Polansky: There was a time when some shady company owning SourceForge was inserting dubious elements into SourceForge downloads. That was under DHI Group/Dice Holdings, I think (double check). That has changed with new owners of SourceForge, from what I know, although the article below sheds some doubt on it. Be it as it may, I know of no indication that FreeMind downloads are compromised in any way or install undesirable elements.
