6. LICENSING AND OTHER TERMS APPLYING TO CONTENT POSTED ON THE SourceForge SITES:Use, reproduction, modification, and other intellectual property rights to data stored on the SourceForge Sites will be subject to licensing arrangements that may be approved by SourceForge as applicable to such Content. For the SourceForge Site SourceForge.net, use, reproduction, modification, and other intellectual property rights to data stored in CVS or as a file release and posted by any user on SourceForge.net ("Source Code") shall be subject to the OSI-approved license applicable to such Source Code, or to such other licensing arrangements as may be approved by SourceForge.net as applicable to such Source Code. Now, this means that sf.net has rights to the source, in return for hosting. But there is no source to be found. Please correct me if I am wrong on this, of course I am not a lawyer, and I don't know about the license in detail.
It means they deserve rights to only allow content released under an OSI-approved license or another one SourceForge.net approves. And everything SF.net does will be subject to that license.
There is no copyright given to SF.net. That would require an explicit joint copyright assignment and signature (sent by fax), anyway.
