Sounds nice in theory, until SourceHut changes the licensing terms to forbid self-hosting of certain projects. At this point, I'd rather trust GitHub. At least they don't have a personal vendetta against crypto.

- helen___keller 4y agoSourcehut is licensed under AGPL. It's free and open source software, you don't need permission. Even if the licensing were changed (something I view as extremely unlikely, since it would affect non-crypto customers as well), you can legally take an older snapshot of the code that is licensed under AGPL.
