Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?
They’ll probably just fork forgejo add some slight “ai agentic” bullshit and market it as their own product.
I was going to say hopefully the forgejo licence doesn’t allow that but then again, OpenAI have shown they don’t really care about copyright or anything like that
Forgejo is licensed under GPLv3, so I think it isn't possible to do so
Correct me if I wrong, but the GPL has the weakpoint of web distribution in the sense that a backend is not shipped to the client, so you can keep a forked GPL product without publishing back. The AGPL was made for this (and the SSPL (I think) is like any network interface needed should be published too).
It was but then how could they pitch that to investors?
Those aren’t “agentic” enough.
Why? Seems like a massive waste of resources. We already have several source controls
Wasting resources is literally AI's main thing
Github is not source control
No, but there are so many other systems already out there that compete with it. Why reinvent the wheel when your company is already bleeding billions?
Gotta keep throwing shit at the wall.
I hope they call it "SlopTrough"
