Gitea Ltd confirms its takeover of the Gitea project

On 28 October, members of the Gitea Community published the Gitea Open Letter demanding restitution of the Gitea project after the takeover announced on 25 October.

After discussions via diplomatic channels about the Gitea Open Letter, Gitea Ltd decided to ignore the demands and further confirmed they now are in total control of the Gitea project in a blog post signed by two shareholders, Lunny and techknowlogick on 30 October.

This unfortunately concludes the Gitea Open Letter has failed and there is no alternative but forking the project under a new name, with a healthy democratic governance. Exactly as it was before 25 October in the Gitea project. But this time in the context of an incorporated non-profit that provides a legal framework.
