Who owns the source code on SourceForge?
The individual authors hold the copyright on their own software. Because of the nature of Open Source licenses, we are allowed to give people access to that software; however, all license disputes and issues are the responsibilities of the individual authors. There is often a misconception that Open Source software does not actually have a license holder, because of its free nature. This is not the case, however, and software hosted on SourceForge is responsible for its own licensing.
