# Tips
# History
[[Forgejo]] is a fork of Gitea [started](https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html) in 2022 after Gitea sold out.
> In October 2022, the Gitea Ltd for-profit company [took over the Gitea project](https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/). Brodie Robertson [clearly explains](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc3cEfhpp08) the trust issues created by a move that took the entire community by surprise, including the Codeberg presidium and members.

> Companies can help make the Free Software ecosystem more sustainable, and the Gitea project is no exception. Paid staff can work with a community of volunteers when a mutual trust exists. Sadly, Gitea Ltd broke that trust by a lack of transparency: its existence was kept a secret during months.
