Given what you report I am not quite sure what SF's status is.

yes there is.  If you have a Launchpad account, you can start a repo up there.  
Unfortunately it is only Bazaar.  In many ways it is very similar to 
Mercurial, but it has one "feature" (professional coders may call it a bug) 
that it auto-adds everything that is new in the checkout folder, so if you 
don't pay attention it will litter your repository with temporary files and 
other stuff.

well, if the legalese is what bothers you; and you have already been through 
LP's legalese... try there?

I am sorry to read that the OpenID procedure was a pointless detour.  Since I 
already had an SF account when I linked my OpenID to it, my experience was 
completely different.  Had I known that I was sending you to such a dreadful 
nightmare, I would not have recommended you to go this way.

I wish you a good evening and hope this experience will not prevent you from 
publishing / sharing your work.
