Letter from Codeberg: November 2023 — Codeberg News
Gitea is FOSS under the MIT license. Is the title just phrased oddly? They do offer hosting for profit but I thought the software met the definition of FOSS.
Gitea is under the MIT license, so FOSS, but the For-Profit managing it could at any point switch the license going forward. For example to lock Features for Self-Hosters behind a Paywall like Gitlab does
That's the same with any copyleft project though. and we could just fork it if that happened
I use Gitea myself and when the big dust up about the backing company came up, I didn’t feel like there was a big enough reason to migrate away from Gitea. Just because they could do something wasn’t enough of a reason for me. Sure it’s great that they are running a fork that I could switch to but I currently don’t see a reason to switch as of today.
