## Is Codeberg well funded?
Codeberg is primarily funded by [donations](https://liberapay.com/codeberg). As of July 2020, with all expenses frozen, we have a runway of ~12 years, so you don't have to worry that our service will suddenly disappear.
Still, we can always make good use of donations, as they will be used to build new features and extend our services.
Still, we can always make good use of donations! They allow us not only to operate the minimum services,
but extend the features, add new services, and generously offer more power e.g. for CI and Code Search.
## Where is Codeberg hosted?
We are hosted in Germany by [netcup GmbH](https://www.netcup.de/), as well as on our own hardware in a rented facility in Berlin, Germany.
We are hosted on our own hardware in a rented facility in Berlin, Germany.
We might additionally offload certain tasks to other providers,
e.g. [netcup GmbH](https://www.netcup.de/) and [Hetzner Online GmbH](https://www.hetzner.com/),
e.g. for backups / redundancy etc.
We make sure that your data is sufficiently protected and avoid large cloud providers where possible.
## Is it allowed to host non-free software?
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 on the topic of improper FLOSS licensing and its issues.

## What is the size limit for my repositories?
There is no fixed limit, but use cases that harm other users and projects due to excessive resource impact will get restricted. Please refer to our [Terms of Service](https://codeberg.org/codeberg/org/src/TermsOfUse.md#repositories-wikis-and-issue-trackers).
## I removed an object from my repo, why doesn't the reported size shrink?
In its default use, removing tracked files from Git keeps them in the history.
You'd need to rewrite history and force-push the branch, or remove all branches they are included in.
Still, in order to prevent inadvertently removed history which might be handy for code reviews,
we keep those objects around for about 30 days.
Afterwards, they will be removed by the regular Git garbage collection on our servers.
## What is the size limit for my avatar?
You can upload avatar pictures of up to 1 megabyte and 1024x1024 resolution.
## Is Codeberg open-source?
Codeberg is built on [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org), which is open-source. We make all of our changes and other code available under the [Codeberg organization](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg).
