A lot of what you've listed either ships along with other software as libraries on platforms like Windows and Mac and/or ship as part of linux distos. Hence SF would not benefit spending time infecting these and as a consequence, the owners have little reason to move away from SF.

That is absolutely true, I had the same thought. I should add that my list was biased away from Windows applications, as I made the list by summarizing the output of:

    pacman -Qi|grep ^URL|grep -i -e '\bsf\.net' -e sourceforge|sort -u
