The title has been altered and is confusing. It implies the offers themselves are 'opt-in' rather than projects opting in to offers (and the offers themselves remain 'opt-out' in the installer, not 'opt-in').

The original title isn't confusing, it is the alterations which have made it confusing.

"While we had recently tested presenting easy-to-decline third party offers..."

...indicating they actually have such as thing as a "hard-to-decline third party offer". Wow, SourceForge, you really suck!

Prediction: they'll start again within six months. (Remember that this post is saying they'll keep to the 2013 promise they recently reneged on.)
