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.

    You are saying you want to tax retired people with no income just because they have a place to live in. Should we kick them out for nonpayment of said taxes too? Because that’s what would happen. It happens in states with property taxes, but now you want to take it national.

    This is the problem with leftists. This message would be an extremely bad electoral platform.

      Zero cashflow retirees are not a thing.

      ALL states have property tax.

      You don’t know what you are talking about if you don’t understand how taxes are offset and credited. You are just whining about not wanting to participate in society.

      Taxes pay for things, go get educated.

        They have social security and some of them have savings. My mom is planning to retire in West Virginia and she’s already planning on selling her current residence to build a house there. She chose a low property tax state on purpose.

        At this point she would only receive social security and start to go through her savings to live. You want to start charging her federal taxes the moment her property is worth $1 more than what she bought it for, even though she’s on fixed income.

          Yup. And then credit it against standard deduction rates so that 🤡s owning multiple unoccupied homes pay real amounts while your grandmother pays pennies

          Like a normal tax system, you doink

            She owns one home now and one plot of land. She doesn’t own multiple unoccupied homes. She’s also my mother, not my grandmother
