1. Due to the failings of the electoral college system, my state was almost guarenteed to vote the same way as it has for the last 30 years
2. I did not strongly agree with either party/candidate
3. I dispise the current two party system that both major parties are incentivized to maintain
4. Voting for a third party who is incentivised to push for change via ranked voting and other methods does aid them even if they don’t win

If my state was likely to be contested, I may have voted differently. Voting for a third party in my case however had a greater impact than fighting or joining the tide of my state

Custom license that doesn’t meet the FSF’s definition. Tldr restrictions on redistribution and minor restrictions on modification. It isn’t on fdroid’s main, but they host a fdroid compatible one with a out of date version of Grayjay

I’d look into the git-maintenance’s prefetch task. From what I understand, that is more or less what you are looking for. Then just run any old http(s) server and clone them from that https://git-scm.com/docs/git-maintenance

1. Codeberg is fully open source(forgejo) while gitlab has an open source core+community edition but a source available propietary enterprize edition.

2. Codeberg is a nonprofit with no ulterior motives. Gitlab is a publicly traded for profit entity with a goal to make profit

3. This could just be me, but codeberg feels a lot more transparent. When they have outages, they explain why.

4. Super minor, but the codeberg team “self-hosts” their own servers so you only need to trust the one entity rather than additionally trusting the server provider.

I also don’t believe it’s even fully source availiable. There are no build instructions, and you can’t clone all the submodules without signing in to their closed application gitlab instance. If anyone has sucessfully built it from source, please lmk.

Nevermind they did add build instructions since I last checked. Still lmk if anyone’s tested them.

Section 4 is what gets me. Your rights are temporary and revokable meaning the the rest of the license doesn’t matter in the long term

## Section 4: Termination, suspension and variation
1. We may suspend, terminate or vary the terms of this license and any access to the code at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason, in respect of any licensee, group of licensees or all licensees including as may be applicable any sub-licensees.
