Forgejo is changing its license to a Copyleft license. This blog post will try to bring clarity about the impact to you, explain the motivation behind this change and answer some questions you might have.
…
Developers who choose to publish their work under a copyleft license are excluded from participating in software that is published under a permissive license. That is at the opposite of the core values of the Forgejo project and in June 2023 it was decided to also accept copylefted contributions. A year later, in August 2024, the first pull request to take advantage of this opportunity was proposed and merged.
…
Forgejo versions starting from v9.0 are now released under the GPL v3+ and earlier Forgejo versions, including v8.0 and v7.0 patch releases remain under the MIT license.

For reference
Did I say zero revenue? I said didn’t make a profit. Lots of companies made money, but couldn’t make more money than they spent. You can easily have an investment that is valued high that you can’t cash out
Let’s say you bought some stock now, at the end of the year it’s worth $1,000,000 and you get charged $150,000 in April. Big problem, the brokerages stopped allowing you to sell the stock and it crashed down, so now your GameStop stock is worth $100,000
How do you pay?
You don’t pay… This is a solved problem, wealth gain/loss would work the same way as capital gain/loss

It feels like people that don’t like this don’t actually know how to whole system is supposed to work.
