    i work for some people who don’t host their own gitlab/gitea/whatever and use the paid tier from github or gitlab. they could not use codeberg.

      That’s what I said, they use paid GitHub, so you as the worker don’t get the choice, you need to use whatever they do

      Meanwhile, if you start your own project, you need to choose a platform, but you also need to choose a license, so nothing is stopping you from using a free licence and picking Codeberg

      I struggle to see many cases where someone that cares about FOSS gets to choose between GitHub, Codeberg etc, but doesn’t get to choose the license of their project. As an employee you get neither, for your own projects you get both.
