FSF to launch code hosting

The point is that those who are not there for ideology are there for interest. Didn't we see that already when Sourceforge bundled malware along with hosted projects? By design, interest can lead people to harm other people.

I agree that FSF's ideology can sound fussy at times. However, sometimes it is necessary.

There is no way, currently, that you can tell whether a forge system runs on free software rather than on some other software that has been installed on their servers. Except for JavaScript. Relaying on an innocent non-free script may look as a frivolous reason to downgrade Gitlab[*]. However, it's difficult to tell in advance where such reliance is going to land.
