SourceForge is advertising-funded and thus uses a swathe of trackers (Privacy Badger identified 62 trackers on the Apache OpenOffice download page just now). I would exepct them to have a great deal of insight into each and every visitor to their site. It is entirely possible that they could offer some assistance 1:1, although I do agree with you that the needle involved is hidden in a very large haystack. > In addition, while I am not a lawyer isn't keeping this information > illegal in certain jurisdictions?

I suggest you or another PMT member help the OP connect with Apache's rep at SourceForge. S.
