#2In the link is a comment describing how Gitea LTD is stalling on a pull request and instead merged it into their private repo which they charge money for.
This is a PR that was funded with a bounty with the idea of contributing to open source.
Now is a great time to switch to Forgejo :-)

If this doesn't track well, I suggest you repost indicating, in subject, that they're also withholding the patch from the OSS version.
I'm not sure how to write the subject that way, within character limits, but there is zero outrage at charging $$ for OSS contributions, so the subject seems very "meh".
After all, millions of companies do that.

Good suggestion, updated the title. Thanks!

#5So the evidence here is that the Gitea Enterprise page now advertises an audit feature? Mainly for thoroughness: how sure are we that it's the same code?

> Forgejo
Switch to the fork of the fork - brilliant. Especially when the fork fork doesn't seem to do much except bicker and merge controversial PRs on occasion.

That patch doesn't exist in forgejo though does it? (I find it to be a terrible name by the way)

TBH the new title suggested me that they were charging $$ for merging the PR

#9So? Why does a business have an obligation to give away their intellectual property for free? When you submit a PR to a business’s intellectual property, it’s still theirs.
The years go by and the beggar attitude of open source users gets more and more tiring.

Not sure I see the conspiracy here. It's a 144-file PR that has significant management and performance issues, which seem to be the focus of the long discussion thread.
