Is there no git hosting service left that isn’t pushing censorship and fascism? I think I should just start self-hosting at this point.

    Doesn’t this go against one of the main principles in the open source definition? that is no discrimination against fields of endeavour.

      No, its a terms of use for what goes on their servers. Every open source project has that.

      You are free to take Forgejo, their open source forge software, and run it on your own computer without any restrictions based on the free software license.

      Nope! You just made that up! Open source is when the source is openly available. If you were thinking of the free software movement, you’re still wrong! I hope that’s helpful.

        Point 6

        The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

          You are not restricted in your use of their software. Don’t make shit up. Go try and ask Debian to include a proprietary program in their main repo and see how far you get.

          Whats stopping you from taking the software to host codrberg, and host your own?

          Because its not the license. That’s software, not a service provider.

          The OSI applies to software like forgejo, not services like codeberg. The term ‘open source’ does not imply a software uses an open license or follows any particular philosophy, it can be used by any project, with any license.
