Given that there could be sketchy reasons to distribute Tor Browserunofficially and that Tor it's a copyright of Tor Project, shouldn't theTor Project ask to SourceForge to act to: a) Or Remove those project b) Or ask to change name and remove any occurrence of "Tor" in the name of the projects, title, sub descriptions that may lead to misleading interpretation that "this is tor browser"
Andrew and others have asked for these to be taken down in the past. Most listings are shady and likely contain malware. I contacted the developer of the first listing last year [1] but he never responded. While SourceForge might not care about malware*, large US-based companies usually care about copyright and trademark violations (which was a solid legal basis for Andrew to request takedown).
I'm not super sure where to go from there though. This might be a better question for Wendy Seltzer.
