      That would mean they would have to do actual development instead of just scraping off stickers, so I’m not holding my breath.

          Forgejo is a reactionary fork of Gitea, started because the creator of Gitea founded a company to maintain it.

            Secretly behind the backs of the official community council and not many months later started to turn Gitea into an open-core product.

            And they also demand a CLA from contributors now, which is directly against the idea of FOSS.

            I was a bit sceptical about the justification of this fork in the beginning as well, but time has proven the Forgejo team to be sadly completely right.

              CLAs can be abusive, but not necessarily. Apache Foundation contributors need to sign CLAs, which essentially codify in contract form the terms of the Apache 2.0 license. It’s a precaution, in case some jurisdiction doesn’t uphold the passive licensing scheme used otherwise. There’s also a relicensing clause, but that’s restricted to keeping in spirit, they can’t close the source.

          They can decide and announce all they want. In the end they have to become a more compelling product than gitea on the merits, not just because of nebulous anti-commercial ideology.

      Codeberg is run off of donations, they have no service contract revenue. Nobody, much less a volunteer, wants to commit to a 5 or 10 year service plan like that, it’s not sustainable for a small project from a non profit.

      I am sure Gitea will be happy to provide you longer support if you pay them for it /s

      It’s about 5 times longer than previous releases were maintained for, and is an experiment. If there’s a need for a longer term support branch, there will be one. It’s pointless to start maintaining an 5+ year branch with 0 users and a handful of volunteers, none of whom are paid for doing the maintenance.

      So yes, in that context, 15 months is long.

        The community has been taken over by a bunch of weirdos that refuse to click things and read

          I’ll admit I didn’t click or read. But am I incorrect to expect some information on what I will assume is the landing page in the image?

            Horses for courses. I find links to releases far more useful than a link to a front-page. They’re especially helpful when trying to find information/discussion on older releases.

      “Forge” is literally what softwares like GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo is called. From Wikipedia

      “In FOSS development communities, a forge is a web-based collaborative software platform for both developing and sharing computer applications.”
