For the sake of completeness: Sourceforge 2.6 is GPL.  Subsequent
versions have not been released under the GPL (yet?).

  You can, if you stay with Sourceforge.  Not if you switch to
Savannah.  Sourceforge 2.6 is packaged as a Debian package.  It hasn't
been thoroughly tested yet, but we are relatively confident that it
works.  See <URI:http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/debian-sf/> for
details.

  Note: yes, this is (again) an unashamed advertisement for
Debian-SF.  No, I do not do this to make Savannah people angry, but to
give users (and potential users) choice.
