I don't think that was the only reason:

We have over 4,000.  With image attachments.

Allura is OS and its import tool imports our DB out of the box, including 
attachments.  The intention was, still is, to install Allura in a VM on a 
Savannah server.  But that's going slowly, so SF is a stop-gap host.  Quite 
useful as it happens, as the Allura devs are there and are proving responsive 
and helpful.

SF is hardly more commercial than Google anyway, although the ads are a 
nuisance, granted.
