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.
