Sounds like another reason not to repy on US-based services.

Until Forgejo does the same. --- What is ‘Codeberg e.V.’? Codeberg is a non-profit association registered in Berlin, Germany. The abbreviation e.V. stands for eingetragener Verein, which translates as ‘registered association’. As defined by its Bylaws, its goal is to “guarantee the openness and continued availability of free software”. Forgejo has to abide by Codeberg’s goals. We believe that this arrangement reinfor…

The website codeberg.org is technically similar to GitHub in that they host your code. The repo for OrganicMaps on codeberg.org is here:

https://codeberg.org/organicmaps/organicmaps

However, as you can see, this is only a mirror of the official, original repository, which is hosted here:

https://git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/organicmaps

And while this is using ForgeJo - the software Codeberg develops - it is hosted by OrganicMaps themselves. Thereby, it is very unlikely that somebody else takes this down for whatever reason.

What’s the latest in Forgejo vs. Gitea?

They jumped the shark to become cryptobros in 2022 and are Open Core now, why would you still want to use Gitea? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33339421

Hi, I'm on the TOC of Gitea, and I can definitively say that there is no cryptocurrency in Gitea or related to Gitea. As well, the project is not open-core, and you can verify that yourself by going to the project and seeing that all the code is MIT licensed: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea

Sometime in 2024 Forgejo became hard fork no longer merging Gitea code so both projects slowly diverge. But i think momentum is on Forgejo side. Codeberg is popular and development seems to be stable and solid.

I'm on the Gitea TOC. The fork does still merge from upstream. The Gitea project has 4x'd the number of monthly PRs we handle (~400) and have increased the maintainers teams, and the number of contributors. I'd say we have a lot of momentum.

So you're saying the press release promising a DAO and "an enhanced enterprise version" was not truthful?
