dear developers
I will only mention this fact so you can decide if you agree or not

taked from: 
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-new-site-notepad-plus-plus.org.html
  Since January 2010, SourceForge has complied with US law to deny site access 
from 5 countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria).

  This action is totally absurd - not mentioning to that Notepad++ project is 
far from a part of US property (like all the hosted FOSS projects in SF), the 
fact that a FOSS hoster rejects the access from some population is not only a 
discrimination action but also a violation of fundamental FOSS principle.

  We refuse to apply US government's vision, so that's our first move: the new 
site under domain name NOTEPAD-PLUS-PLUS.ORG is hosted by tuxfamily.org in a 
neutral territory (France).



Now replace Notepad++ with LyX or any other FOSS and you will get my point.
