I find the Sourceforge report problematic. I haven't verified this
myself, but I believe that the vast majority of Sourceforge JavaScript
is free, if not all, and comes directly as part of Apache Allura.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/alexandria has details and links that
eventually bring you to the Allura site. Anyone can test a local copy of
Allura to see that basically all the functions listed in the Sourceforge
review are part of Allura and are indeed fully free JS.

I see no valid reason to accept that GitLab has free but
non-LibreJS-recognized JS but not give the same credit to Sourceforge.
We should verify with Sourceforge themselves (especially before
publishing this report). The list of "non-free or non-LibreJS" for
Sourceforge seems to careless given that almost all of the JS if not all
is likely only a LibreJS issue and not a non-free issue. I suspect
Sourceforge is actually very close to passing as well as GitLab except
for the terms item.
