Hi,

I haven't seen any adware in GeoServer downloads but maybe there has been. But 
if the Devshare was discontinued more than 4 years ago, what is the problem 
today? Older than 4 years old packages which may still contain adware,  or? 
Should they be scanned to guarantee that they are not infected?

They used to bundle adware in fairly deceptive ways. See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SourceForge#DevShare_adware

Thanks,
