GitLab is not completely open source. It is owned by a for profit corporation.
Codeberg runs on Forjego which is open source. It is run by a non-profit.
Not just for profit, but publicly-traded in the US where shareholders will get to make decisions & there are legal obligations to make profit for those shaleholders
Just curious, what part isn't open source? I'm running a dockerized instance of it on my local server and have made my own modifications to the rails code in several places to meet my needs closer. Haven't seen anything that would indicate it wasn't open source, so just wondering where I should be looking. Unless these comments are related to the .com website and not personal instances
I have found that it was mainly issue and support tracking features that was "missing" from the free community edition of Gitlab.
Ahh okay, so not necessarily the entire software was a whole, but just a few things that would probably be targeted more towards the Enterprise folks? Assuming you don't mean the issue boards for codebases, but rather the support requests. Probably why I hadn't noticed, thanks!
I am not sure of the specifics but their website says

Ah got it. Looked at the open core link on there and like like all the features I use or care about are what's open source, so there are likely some other things out of scope for myself that aren't, and that's why I didn't notice. Thanks! ๐
