The projects on SourceForge are not shareware. They're open source. There's a big difference. You not only have access to the project team, but you have access to the source. If you get desperate enough, you can fix it yourself. If you want to have a more direct influence, you can even join the team. You're ignoring a significant resource if you discount open source. It's not all great stuff though. Caviat emptor.
