And Gitea has Gitea Actions. The big difference - and also the sole reason ForgeJo was forked - is that Gitea has a business behind it that allows them to sell support hours to other businesses. And then use the money to progress Gitea. Similar to how Zabbix and others do it. But the community decided that this is a bad thing and moved to ForgeJo.
gittea ltd was founded without adhering to the governance model gittea had and also claimed copyright on atleast the name and logo of gittea. many felt a non-profit would be a better way to organize development and thats how codeberg e.v. came to be.
the problem is not, and never was offering support and service against money, you can right now start selling forgejo if you'd desire to, it was allways about how the project itself should be organized.
While a non-profit sounds very honourable, I personally think Gitea has the more future-proof model. In fact, Gitea Actions was something they got commissioned for and were allowed to open source it as well.
This is basically how I think about it. (Not my comment.)
But we’ll see…
