As of January 2007 it had 1,491,454 users and had attained 139,750 projects. However many of its users are one time users or dormant users. To begin with, the SourceForge software was an open/ free software. However it was relicensed and commercialized as a closed source/ proprietary software. Its latest version is 2.5 which is from the CVS repository and is sold as Savane by GNU project. Later one of the programmers at SourceForge also sold it as Gforge.
SourceForge.net is the world's largest Open Source software development web site, hosting more than 100,000 projects and over 1,000,000 registered users with a centralized resource for managing projects, issues, communications, and code. SourceForge.net has the largest repository of Open Source code and applications available on the Internet, and hosts more Open Source development products than any other site or network worldwide. SourceForge.net provides a wide variety of services to projects we host, and to the Open Source community.
 
  
SourceForge.net provides free hosting to Open Source software development projects. The essence of the Open Source development model is the rapid creation of solutions within an open, collaborative environment. Collaboration within the Open Source community (developers and end users) promotes a higher standard of quality, and helps to ensure the long-term viability of both data and applications.

It allows your (or any) project to be named uniquely, which is present in its registry to become sub-dominated. The URL will be http:// name of the project.sourceforge.net or it may be http:// name of the project.sf.net. Thus your project gets a renowned URL branding and if there is high activity according to their standards then it may even get listed on http://sourceforge.net site’s main page as a top ranking project. Since the site has huge volume of visitors, running into millions, and is frequently researched for information regarding projects, the projects posted here are quickly accessible to the developers’ and users market.
  
Open Source software is also gaining increased momentum in the enterprise. Commonly cited reasons for the growing interest, acceptance, and even preference for Open Source products include low cost, high value, quality and reliability, security, increased freedom and flexibility (both hardware and software,) and adherence to open standards. Additional information regarding the Open Source concept can be found on the Open Source Initiative (OSI) web site. Additional information on the growing use of Open Source technologies in the enterprise can be found in the VA Software white paper Leveraging Open Source Processes and Techniques in the Enterprise.
