I don't have an account, so I can't click around. It took a while to
load. Could be because of the SSL.


Oh, and have you read
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/Terms_of_Use
recently?

This isn't very nice for an open source bug tracker.. Who wants to
go through a f*ing legal agreement?! It's about the code!


Besides, there are many points in that agreement which I do not feel
are accurate for libssh2, or any other project I would be involved in
for that matter;

--8<-- 1. REGISTRATION AND USER ACCOUNTS
You should:

   1. provide true, accurate, current and complete information
(collectively, "Registration Data") when registering, and
   2. update your Registration Data as necessary. 
-->8--

No, I don't care. I care only about enough information to fix bugs. I
want as little information as possible.


--8<-- 2. YOUR USE OF SOURCEFORGE.NET
You must be 13 years of age or older to use SourceForge.net. If you
are at least 13 years of age, but under the age of 18, your parent or
legal guardian, as applicable, must expressly consent to your use of
SourceForge.net.
-->8--

Wtf is this age discrimination about? I was hacking at age 11 and I'm
sure I'm in good company on this list.

The 2. (Prohibited Persons) has further discrimination, a blanket
refusal of service to anyone considered persona non grata by the USA
DoC. Maybe such individuals are unwelcome in all US businesses (which
is what SF is, right?) but if they want to help libssh2 in anyway
then that seems like a good thing to me.


Of particular interest to libssh2 might also be the paragraph on
Encryption. (Yeahyeah libraries, but still.)


--8<-- 3. USER CONTENT
When you create or make available Your Content, you represent and
warrant that: 
..
e. Your Content is not obscene, lewd, lascivious, excessively violent,
harassing, libelous or slanderous, does not advocate the violent
overthrow of the government of the United States, does not incite,
encourage or threaten immediate physical harm against another;
-->8--

What if I want to be obscene sometimes?


Do you not also think that this is completely ridiculous legal junk
that is absolutely orthagonal to what open source is about? Geez, we
want to spend time on open source crap code, not hire a lawyer..
