   @Suzu @theorytoe @gabriel It was originally a soft-fork meaning that in the case that Gitea went "evil" they already would have all the code and momentum. Collaboration between the two projects still existed. Then they relicensed to GPL which made any collaboration nearly impossible code-wise and essentially made themselves a little corner where they could take from upstream, but as their codebase changed it made it progressively harder to merge the changes. Today they are two mostly independent projects that don't collaborate.

     @theorytoe @phnt @gabriel but forgejo/gitea situation is a bit different, isn't it? By what I understood, people got icky with gitea because it got turned for profit or something like that and got associated with a company. So it makes sense gitea has way more resources than forgejo has and was able to replace the devs who left.
