> Codeberg is just a nice logo wrapped around Forgejo/Gitea.
Not true. Codeberg is first of all a downstream fork [0] of Forgejo, making adaptations for high-scale use. And it offers additional services that Forgejo does not offer. Then it has a full-blown non-profit organization around it that enables community participation. It is the presidium of the community members that decided on the new ToU.
Forgejo is a hard fork of Gitea with a GPLv3 license, instead of MIT. Codeberg used to be based on Gitea, but it no longer does for many years now.
Codeberg, gogs, gitea and forgejo are all mostly cross-compatible. Their apis are for the most part the same, differentiating them serves no purpose AT ALL besides for ideological purposes. Just because codeberg wants to be this saint of FOSS doesn't mean they are really contributing anything else than riding the works of the forgejo/gitea team/gogs.
Yes, forking is one of the beautiful things of open source. But again there is much more than just "riding the works" in the tight mutual relationship between Forgejo and Codeberg.
