come to codeberg my friend https://codeberg.org
Codeberg only allows open source licensed code. If you’re working on non-free software you could self host Codeberg’s underlying software, or SourceHut is a different but other good option too.
In what circumstances would you develop non-free code and still have the need to pick a provider? Don't companies have regulations usually, so your have to use either their own hosted instance or GitHub enterprise?
i work for some people who don't host their own gitlab/gitea/whatever and use the paid tier from github or gitlab. they could not use codeberg.
That's what I said, they use paid GitHub, so you as the worker don't get the choice, you need to use whatever they do
Meanwhile, if you start your own project, you need to choose a platform, but you also need to choose a license, so nothing is stopping you from using a free licence and picking Codeberg
I struggle to see many cases where someone that cares about FOSS gets to choose between GitHub, Codeberg etc, but doesn't get to choose the license of their project. As an employee you get neither, for your own projects you get both.
