Why? What's so special about the place where you host your source? It's the second time I see this sentiment in the thread, and I don't get it. If an official channel tells you a project is OK, and then someone else decides it's not, what does it really happen outside of you taking your project elsewhere?
Hosting a project with its issues, packages, releases, discussions and everything is an investment. The URLs will be in multiple places, some of which I don't control.
Then suddenly the hoster decides that my project isn't wanted because the zeitgeist is against some technology used in it and poof it goes away.
What now?
"Just move away", sure. I can do that if they still let me export my data. But to be honest I'd rather just use a platform with a smaller risk of getting booted because someone decided my project is "too AI" or something similar.
I have no idea if there's a way to argue against the decisions, what proof do I need to provide, do I need to prepare somehow? Like have video of myself with a dated newspaper typing the code by hand to prove AI wasn't used? :D
Who would one ask to get an official and enforceable answer?
I don’t want an opinion, I need a definitive ruling I can trust.
It's not like they don't have a contact page: https://docs.codeberg.org/contact/

Is this the "contact our sales team for pricing" of open source?
no this is the "we are real people, not a faceless algorithm" of open source.
