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
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).
Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?

Forgejo is licensed under GPLv3, so I think it isn’t possible to do so
Probably they’ll try that millenary genAI technique…
“rewrite this code so it’s legally different and license it as I want”

Those aren’t “agentic” enough.
It was but then how could they pitch that to investors?
