SourceForge blocks Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan and Cuba

“In a move that must surely strike at the very core of open
source, FOSS, and the heart of GNU crusader Richard Stallman,
SourceForge has now blocked all access from by countries on the
U.S. ‘Foreign Assets Control sanction list’.

“That isn’t the beginning of the story though: back in 2008 the
same countries were allowed to surf SourceForge, but not interact
with the source code repositories — they could download, but
couldn’t contribute. Now it seems the access block is complete —
if you live in Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan or Cuba, you simply
can’t access SourceForge.”
