The license is switched from (inherited from original upstream Gitea) MIT to GPL3+. Considering the nature of the software, my first thought was of course "Obviously not for the worse, but why not AGPL instead of GPL?"

Reading through the issue thread on the matter, it seems like the landing of a consensus agreement on GPL3 was after a long and ardous back-and-forth. And even if the member who originally argued for GPL over AGPL have since been enlightened and are now actually prefering AGPL, the existing decision is moving forward to at least lock that part in. There was quite some initial confusion on license "compatibility" (we need better words, this is a major source of confusion in itself) behind prefering GPL, as I read it.

A step forward, but I do hope it will be less than a few years until an AGPL Forgejo.
