A while ago, I found following Copyright Assignment on the SourceForge site:
SourceForge Copyright Assignment
Thank you for your interest in contributing software code to
SourceForge.
In order for us to include the code in our product, we will
need you to provide us with the rights to the code.
By signing this agreement, you, the undersigned, hereby assign
to VA Linux all right, title and interest in and to the
software code described below, and all copyright, patent,
proprietary information, trade secret, and other intellectual
property rights therein. You also agree to take all actions and
sign all documents (such as copyright assignments or
registrations) reasonably requested by VA Linux to evidence and
record the above assignments.
This sounds as if this means that all source code you provide to SF, will
entirely be owned by them. Not really in the philosophy of the GPL.
The FSF Europe recommends: start avoiding SourceForge and use alternative
services instead!
For those who wants to read more:

Anyway, not a good development in my opinion.
