 ### Can I host software and resources without a free and open-source software license?
 
-Our mission is to support the creation and development of Free Software; therefore we only allow repos licensed under an
-OSI/FSF-approved license.
-For more details see [Licensing article](/getting-started/licensing).
-However, we sometimes tolerate repositories that aren't perfectly licensed and focus on spreading awareness of the topic
-of improper FLOSS licensing and its issues.
+Codeberg is run by a non-profit association with an explicit mission of advancing
+the creation and development of free content and free and open-source software.
 
-### Can I use private repositories for my project?
+This mission is shared by Codeberg's contributors, donors and association members.
+We, and our servers, work tirelessly to provide you with our free service.
+However, there is one thing that we expect from you in return:
+To contribute back to the ecosystem by attaching a suitable license to the works that
+you put out in public, so as to let others reuse and adapt your works.
 
-In many cases, yes, but please read on.
-Our goal is to support Free Content, and we do not act as a private hosting for everyone!
-However, if we see that you contribute to Free Software / Content and the ecosystem,
-we allow **up to 100 MB of private content** for your convenience.
+**If you are not sure which license to choose,**
+our documentation has a [licensing article](/getting-started/licensing).
+
+**If you do not care about copyrighting your works,** please consider using a public domain
+declaration (e.g. [Unlicense](https://unlicense.org/),
+[Creative Commons Zero](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/)
+for multimedia assets),
+or licenses of similar nature (e.g. [WTFPL](https://wtfpl.net),
+[MIT No Attribution](https://opensource.org/license/mit-0)).
+
+Using such licenses helps ensure that others can comfortably (re)use your works anyway.
+
+**If you need private repositories for commercial projects** (e.g. because you represent a
+company or are a developer that needs a space to host private freelance projects for your clients),
+we would highly recommend that you take a look at [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org).
+Forgejo is the Git hosting software that Codeberg runs.
+It is free software and relatively very easy to self-host.
+Codeberg does not offer private hosting services.
+
+Sometimes, we do tolerate repositories that are not licensed optimally (e.g. due to
+historic reasons dating back decades). If you believe that your project should be exempt,
+[please send us a formal request](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests).
+
+#### How about private repositories?
+
+In many cases, yes, we do allow them (under certain conditions)!
+
+Our priority is to support the free content and free and open-source software ecosystems.
+As such, we cannot invest time, hardware and resources to provide private hosting for everyone.
+However, contributors to the aforementioned ecosystems can use **up to 100 MB of private content** at their own convenience.
 Further exceptions are spelled out in our [Terms of Service](https://codeberg.org/codeberg/org/src/TermsOfUse.md#2-allowed-content-usage):
 
 > Private repositories are only allowed for things required for FLOSS projects, like storing secrets, team-internal
