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.

This is not the case, however, and software hosted on SourceForge is responsible for its own licensing.
