Forgejo changes license to GPLv3+

Date:
Fri, 23 Aug 2024 13:39:33 +0000

Description:
The Forgejo project has announced that, starting from version 9.0, Forgejo 
will be released under the GPLv3 license (or a later version). Older versions 
of the software forge remain MIT-licensed. A copyleft license makes reusing 
other copyleft software easier. Recently, we discovered that some of the 
dependencies we used were incompatible with the license Forgejo was 
distributed with , and they had to be removed for now. Choosing copyleft 
licenses enables us to reuse more work, and saves us precious time to focus 
on improving Forgejo itself.
