They are a non profit, not a company and you can have private repos. You are spreading misinformation.

Dude, just read the TOS, jesus: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-pri...

It's not misinformation, just read their own page:

If you use more than 100 MB of private storage for the use cases mentioned earlier, please send us a request and we can evaluate it.

If you do not contribute to any free/libre software project at all, Codeberg is unfortunately not the right place for you. However, check out the alternatives, we're sure you'll find a cozy place for your work.

  • ...in what way whatsoever is this "They dont allow private repos"?

    The size limit is........a size limit, something every host should have; there's one for public codeberg repos too.

    And while there are restrictions on what private repos are allowed, there are also restrictions on what public repos are allowed too, and it's extremely clear that neither requirement is equivalent to "they don't allow [public / private] repos".

    My reading of that section is that, besides the size limit, the rules on private repos are, to an extent, less strict than of public repos; anyone who falls under your second quoted sentence couldn't have any public repos either, by the nature of public repos needing to be FOSS.
