  That would mean they would have to do actual development instead of just scraping off stickers, so I’m not holding my breath.

    Is there some drama I’m not aware of here?

      Forgejo is a reactionary fork of Gitea, started because the creator of Gitea founded a company to maintain it.

        Secretly behind the backs of the official community council and not many months later started to turn Gitea into an open-core product.

        And they also demand a CLA from contributors now, which is directly against the idea if FOSS.

        I was a bit sceptical about the justification of this fork in the beginning as well, but time has proven the Firgejo team to be sadly completely right.

      They can decide and announce all they want. In the end they have to become a more compelling product than gitea on the merits, not just because of nebulous anti-commercial ideology.
