F.
TLDR below:
* Forgejo is community maintained
* Cheaper to operate (see timos reply)
* Its faster
Gitlab is a publicly traded company, its executives must by law
act in the interest of gitlab and its shareholders.
Gitlab can only provide free licenses to free software projects, as long
as doing so gives gitlab and its shareholders a benefit.
publicly traded companies must try to maximize profits.
Its simply not in FFmpegs interrest to make ourselfs dependant on that.
Unless theres a large benefit from doing that. I dont belive gitlab
is better by a large enough amount in any way to make us dependant on it.
