@pointlessone @clacke Gitorious was a libre, AGPL'ed "forge" type site which was very similar to GitHub. It was very popular amongst the more libre, GitHub-wary crowd, but unfortunately even though it was free software, almost nobody ran their own instance and everyone just used the "main" instance. When Gitorious' main company shut down, so did the main instance, and tons of software disappeared. Eventually some of it came back up thanks to an archive team, but that took some time
