I just got this on the zsh mailinglist. Any comments on this. We've blackbox hosted on Sourceforge too, but maybe we should look around for alternatives?

As far as I can see, the substantive changes are: 1. They can henceforth change the terms without notice, just by posting the new terms on the website. (Currently they are obliged to give 15 days notice by email, a period that we are currently in for this change.) 2. They can henceforth remove user accounts without giving a reason. (Currently they are obliged to have a reason, though the set of acceptable reasons is open-ended.) 3. They're no longer obliged to make the contents of a deleted account available to its owner. (There was previously a "reasonable effort" clause to that effect.) 4. They're no longer obliged to provide notice of changes to the privacy policy, unless the changes are "substantive". (Currently they are obliged to provide notice of any change.) 5. The privacy policy is acquiring a disclaimer that amounts to "this is not true". It actually disclaims the entire privacy policy. Do we want to keep zsh hosted at SourceForge? For me personally, item 1 alone is enough to want to remove my account. Item 5 also seems pretty serious, and 2-4 are dangerous. -zefram ----- End forwarded message -----
