The DRM removal tool to remove DRM from ebooks was taken down from github and will most likely be taken down from gitlab soon as well. The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc https://gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou
Edit: does anyone here use https://radicle.xyz/ ? Its a p2p network built on top of git and could be a good way to host it while still being able to contribute to it besides making a .torrent for archiving
I’ll be honest, I didn’t think about that kind of sponsorship. In my comment I was thinking of something more like the sponsor relationship between Red Hat and Fedora. However… this thread started with you saying Gitea has no future because
It seems to be FLOSS without a company trying to sell premium features behind it.
Which it definitely does, and is. Gitea also does have sponsors in the same sense as Debian that you mentioned, though not giants like Google or HP.
I also think that saying small projects necessarily stagnate and die is wrong, though, as my other examples show.
Again, that’s fine? You said Gitea has no future because there’s no company trying to sell premium features behind it. A merch shop and donations aren’t remotely similar to the relationship between Canonical and Ubuntu, and aren’t commercializing the project or making its fundamental purpose profit-driven.

I just checked your three examples. All of them accept donations of various forms and Lichess also has a merch shop :)
Oh, by the way, your previous point about piracy. You might not be aware, but it’s a huge industry as well with plenty of money going around.
