To be clear, it's not an official project so they're not _obliged_ to 
follow the four opens. As long as the code is technically Open Source 
then it's up to them whether they want to succeed or fail at building a 
community.

Yes, this is a confusing aspect of getting rid of the sourceforge 
namespace. Perhaps things will improve with the forthcoming OpenDev 
branding.
