BitSpirit Portable

None of these examples are hosted on SourceForge. TeamViewer is hosted on teamviewer.com, and the rest are on downloads.portableapps.com. You may not distribute closed source software on SourceForge. It's against the terms of service.

Concerning online installers, read the documentation on it, which is in the PAF spec.

I don't believe that it's basically compatible with their Terms of Service without explicit written permission from Geeknet.

SourceForge.net Terms and Conditions of Use, section 3, User Content, subsection Code Licenses Granted to Geeknet and Other Users, article Compliance

By submitting Code to SourceForge.net, you certify that your Code is in compliance with the OSI-Approved or compliant license that you designate, and you hereby represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses and consents necessary to grant Geeknet and other users the rights and licenses granted herein, and under the OSI-Approved or compliant license you designate, without infringement of any third party rights. In addition, the Code that you submit must also be made available in human-readable (i.e., "Source Code") form. Whenever reasonably feasible, you agree that you will make Source Code available on or via SourceForge.net corresponding to Code that you post, submit, display or distribute. You must make Source Code available for all portions of Code that you have modified, enhanced or otherwise created derivative works from (with any such modification or derivative work being a "Change").

Geeknet acknowledges that there may be situations where posting Source Code is not reasonably feasible; examples of such situations are when you are posting Code that: is ancillary to other Code that you have Changed but such Code is only available to you in binary or executable form (such as closed-source device drivers or closed-source software frameworks); (b) is otherwise readily available in Source Code form online as part of an Open Source distribution, and where you notify users that the Source Code for such distribution is available elsewhere on the Internet (and you also provide a link to that location); or (c) Geeknet agrees in writing does not need to be posted in Source Code form.

To take this example, BitSpirit could be considered to be ancillary to BitSpirit Portable, but really it's the other way round. BitSpirit Portable is ancillary to BitSpirit; BitSpirit is the main work, BitSpirit Portable is merely a slight extra bit to make it function in a certain situation. I do not believe that it morally constitutes satisfaction of option (a), though legally it is possible that it might (I think a pack of lawyers would be quite happy to argue about it for a few months if you paid them to do it). Option (b) is obviously not satisfied. Option (c) is what you are claiming; I would like proof of this, indicating that (i) they give permission, and (ii) they understand the situation fully.
