I remember now (or rather, I found the man page):

RESTRICTED DELETION FLAG OR STICKY BIT
        The restricted deletion flag or sticky bit is a single bit, 
whose  interpretation  depends  on  the
        file type.  For directories, it prevents unprivileged users 
from removing or renaming a file in the
        directory unless they own the file or the directory; this is 
called the  restricted  deletion  flag
        for  the  directory,  and  is  commonly found on world-writable 
directories like /tmp.

Kind of makes sense in the SourceForge case. Kind of.

Cheers
Jérôme
