Forgejo is changing its license to a Copyleft license. This blog post will try to bring clarity about the impact to you, explain the motivation behind this change and answer some questions you might have.

...

Developers who choose to publish their work under a copyleft license are excluded from participating in software that is published under a permissive license. That is at the opposite of the core values of the Forgejo project and in June 2023 it was decided to also accept copylefted contributions. A year later, in August 2024, the first pull request to take advantage of this opportunity was proposed and merged.

...

Forgejo versions starting from v9.0 are now released under the GPL v3+ and earlier Forgejo versions, including v8.0 and v7.0 patch releases remain under the MIT license.

Wealth tax does not block economic growth, rather the opposite, because it forces wealth to be reinvested to not lose too much value.
You clearly need a lesson in proportional taxation if you think people would have their personal property appropriated.
I do not give a fuck about you placing your dignity in ownership of material assets, that is a you problem.
The top 10% pay less income taxes as a fraction of their income than the bottom 10%.
Really, we should remove the capitalist class because they will fight back to the detriment of everyone else.
I do not give a fuck about the IRS. I am not an American. My country actually has a wealth tax.
You are repeating misinformation and capitalist propaganda with little understanding of what you are saying. Have you even reflected on what "the economy" really is? If you are a trickle-down Reaganomics-follower, you might want to get your brain checked.

I would give up my US citizenship if it were passed. It's enough I live abroad and still pay taxes for my dividends. If you start taxing my investments directly, I'll have to get a different passport

The US is the only country I know of that practises this.

I've been told Hungary does, though I haven't heard much about it until recently: https://www.uscisguide.com/dual-citizenship/u-s-dual-citizenship-and-taxes-with-hungary/

I've also been told South Africa and Eritrea do, and I wouldn't be surprised if places like North Korea and Turkmenistan do too.

Somehow Hungary gets a score of 30/50 for taxation for 2024 from https://nomadcapitalist.com/nomad-passport-index/ (United States and South Africa and Eritrea get 10, North Korea and Turkmenistan get 20) but I'd be suspicious of anywhere with a lower rating than 30.
