Forgejo changed its license from MIT to GNU GPL v3+, it is now copyleft, just like Git. A pull request for federated user activity following using ActivityPub saw significant progress. Space usage quotas for users and organizations was implemented. The Forgejo security policy was published.

@io @forgejo there was a consensus on GPL in 2023 and not yet on AGPL, although discussions are ongoing.

I'm happy about having a copylefted codebase that cannot ever turn proprietary. And I do hope it gets to AGPL eventually.

That is not possible with a web service under the GPL.

@earlwarren @forgejo well, if someone distributes a binary, then they also have to distribute the source, under the GPL. but not if they make changes to an instance for which they don't distribute binaries.
