According to

   http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/Terms_of_Use

==============================================================
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: ... (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.
==============================================================

I know widely used Parted Magic project which have Geeknet agrees
or violate SourceForge terms (here only one binary):

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/files/

and

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/develop

point to empty git repo.
