I technically can, but would Codeberg’s policies allow doing such thing ? Codeberg insists on license, but it’s difficult for me to figure out which license is what type of open source license !!

    If the project is open-source, so with a GPL, MIT, Apache, BSD, etc. license, you can fork the project (ideally with attribution of the source).

    Look for the LICENSE file on the git repository. If it is not present, it may be on the linked on the README. If there is no license, it means you do not have the right to modify or redistribute the program.

      You might also need to be aware if the project has a noncommercial license if you plan on cloning it to another Git repository. Codeberg does not accept commercial projects though, so in this case it’s not an issue.
