Not quite: Codeberg discourages you from having too many closed source projects, but you can absolutely have private repositories. I have several.

They explain the rules here: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-pri...

[dismalaf]

How much they tolerate private projects and the specific rule you link is so vague it's worthless.

I want 100% certainty that if my side project makes money they're not going to come after me for breaking terms. Anything less is worthless.

[kstrauser]

Worthless _to you_. Given that it's a free service, I think it's perfectly reasonable that they only want to host Free software. There are any number of other tools catering to businesses.

[dismalaf]

It was a reply to the comment. My original comment merely stated the fact and that I use something else.

I'm saying vague promises are worthless, not the service if you do 100% FOSS.

> I want 100% certainty

this is completely unrealistic even if you're paying a company to host your stuff

[dismalaf]

It's not. If the terms of use unambiguously allow it, the law is on your side no matter what the host tries.

[blibble]

there's no law, it's a contract

you can be sued by anyone for anything at any time, regardless of your opinion of "unambiguous"

[dismalaf]

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

Yes, lawsuits are how contract disputes are settled. "The law is on your side" means a court will side with you in case of a lawsuit.

> Are you being intentionally obtuse?

are you?

need I remind you, you said:

> I want 100% certainty that if my side project makes money they're not going to come after me

there is NEVER any certainty that your counterparty won't come after you, even if you think your contract is "unambiguous"

because that not how the system works
