Nope! You just made that up! Open source is when the source is openly available. If you were thinking of the free software movement, you're still wrong! I hope that's helpful.

Point 6
The OSI applies to software like forgejo, not services like codeberg. The term 'open source' does not imply a software uses an open license or follows any particular philosophy, it can be used by any project, with any license.
Whats stopping you from taking the software to host codrberg, and host your own?
Because its not the license. That's software, not a service provider.
You are not restricted in your use of their software. Don't make shit up. Go try and ask Debian to include a proprietary program in their main repo and see how far you get.
Mind highlighting the part that you think proves your point? You used some of those words, sure, but this is a completely different meaning from your original comment.
